P. v. Lloyd
A jury convicted John L. Lloyd (appellant) of possessing base cocaine. (Health & Saf. Code, 11350, subd. (a).)[1] In bifurcated proceedings, the jury found true that appellant had suffered five prior felony convictions, three of which were alleged as prior convictions requiring sentencing pursuant to the Three Strikes law (Pen. Code, 667, subds. (b)-(i); 1170.12)[2]and four of which had no five-year wash-out period and potentially were the predicates for the service of separate prison term enhancements (Pen. Code, 667.5, subd. (b)). The trial court denied appellants motion pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero), which requested that he be sentenced as a first-time offender and be granted probation. The trial court sentenced appellant as a second-strike offender. Court will order a remand for formal findings on the strikes and enhancements, for reconsideration of appellants Romero motion, and for resentencing. In all other respects, the judgment will be affirmed.
