P. v. Vestal
A jury convicted appellant Richard Vestal of first degree burglary (Pen. Code, 459, 460 subd. (a)), and in a separate proceeding, the court found true an enhancement allegation that appellant had served a prison term for a prior felony conviction (Pen. Code, 667.5, subd. (b)). The court imposed a prison term of seven years, consisting of the six-year upper term on the substantive offense and one year on the enhancement. Appellants sole contention on appeal is that a readback of testimony to the jury out of his and his attorneys presence violated his right to due process of law under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Court will affirm
