P. v. Aranda
In a felony complaint filed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney, defendant and appellant Adrian Aranda was charged with possession of marijuana for sale in violation of Health and Safety Code section 11359 (count 1). It was further alleged that appellant had suffered prior convictions pursuant to Penal Code section 667, subdivisions (b) through (i), section 667.5, subdivision (b), section 1170.12, subdivisions (a) through (d),[1] and Health and Safety Code section 11370, subdivisions (a) and (c). Appellant pled no contest. Probation was denied, and appellant was sentenced to 16 months in state prison. Appellant was awarded 24 days of presentence custody credits, consisting of 16 actual days and eight days of good time/work time.
Appellant timely filed a notice of appeal. He contends that he is entitled to an additional eight days of conduct credit pursuant to section 4019, in effect at the time of his March 25, 2010, sentencing.
Because appellant was previously convicted of a serious and violent felony, he is not entitled to the new accrual rate of good time/work time credits set forth in section 4019. Accordingly, we affirm.
