P. v. Barton
Steven William Barton appeals from a judgment after a jury convicted him of assault with intent to commit rape, first degree burglary with a non-accomplice present, assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, and sexual battery by restraint, and found true he inflicted great bodily injury. Barton argues the search warrant affidavit lacked probable cause to search his laptop computer recovered from his truck found near the crime scene, the trial court erroneously admitted evidence recovered from his truck and laptop computer, and the court erroneously failed to stay the sentence for assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury. None of his contentions have merit, and we affirm the judgment.
After appellate briefing was complete, Barton submitted a motion for substitution of appellate counsel. As we explain below, the motion is meritless, and we deny that motion.
