P. v. Cano
Pursuant to a negotiated agreement Julio Antonio Cano pleaded no contest to one count of first degree robbery and admitted various sentencing enhancements, including that he had suffered one prior serious or violent felony conviction. Cano was sentenced to an aggregate state prison term of 23 years. Prior to entering the plea, Canos retained counsels request for a continuance of the trial was denied. On appeal Cano argues the trial court abused its discretion in denying the defense motion for a continuance, he was denied the effective assistance of counsel because his attorney failed to adequately state the grounds for a continuance and was unprepared for trial, and the court further abused its discretion when it refused to allow him to withdraw his plea based on his showing of ineffective assistance of counsel. Court modify the judgment to include one additional day of presentence custody credit and, as modified, affirm the judgment.
