P. v. Hafiz
A jury convicted defendant Abdullah Naim Hafiz of first degree residential burglary. (Pen. Code, 459, 460.) In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found true allegations that defendant had two prior strike convictions (Pen. Code, 667, subds. (d), (e)(2)(A), 1170.12, subds. (b), (e)(2)(A)), two prior serious felony convictions (Pen. Code, 667, subd. (a)(1)), and had served four prior prison terms (Pen. Code,
667.5. subd. (b)). It struck one of the prior convictions (Pen. Code, 1385) and sentenced defendant to 14 years in prison, consisting of the low term of two years for the burglary conviction, doubled to four years for the prior strike conviction, and two consecutive five-year terms for the prior serious felony convictions; sentence on the remaining enhancement allegations was stayed.
Defendant contends (1) his statements to police were involuntary and obtained in violation of his rights under Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 [86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694] (Miranda), (2) the court erred in admitting evidence of his prior convictions, certified records to prove a prior conviction, and an outstanding arrest warrant, (3) he received ineffective assistance of counsel, and (4) the evidence was insufficient to prove his burglary conviction and the allegations of prior convictions. Finding no error, Court need not address defendants claim of cumulative prejudice and affirm the judgment.
