P. v. Adarkwa
Appellant Francis Adarkwa pled no contest to one count of identity theft in violation of Penal Code[1]section 530.5 case number SA062256. He was given a two year sentence, suspended, and placed on probation. While on probation, appellant was convicted, following a jury trial, of three counts of grand theft in violation of section 487, subdivision (a), and 11 counts of forgery in violation of section 470, subdivision (d) in this case, number BA333148. Appellant appeals from the judgment of conviction, contending that the trial court erred in imposing the full consecutive mid-term of two years for his identity theft conviction. Respondent agrees. Court agree as well, and correct appellant's sentence in case number SA062256 to eight months, which is one third the mid-term. Appellant's total sentence for the two cases is three years and eight months.
