Paris T. Davidson (appellant) appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial resulting in his conviction of the unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle (Veh. Code, 10851, subd. (a)) and receiving stolen property (Pen. Code, 496, subd. (a))[1]with trial court findings as to the truth of the prior theft-related conviction allegations ( 666.5). The trial court sentenced him to a term of three years in state prison.

Courts (1985) 37 Cal.3d 784 (Courts)); (2) there was Marsden error (People v.Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118 (Marsden)); and (3) the trial court abused its discretion when it denied his Castro motion to exclude impeachment with several of his prior felony convictions (People v. Castro (1985) 38 Cal.3d 301, 312 (Castro)). Court affirm the judgment.
