P. v. Branson
Defendant Ervin Grant Branson, Jr., entered a negotiated no contest plea to furnishing marijuana to a 14-year-old girl (Health & Saf. Code, § 11361, subd. (b)) and misdemeanor molesting or annoying the same girl (Pen. Code, § 647.6, subd. (a)(1)). He also admitted a prior strike, arising from a 1989 robbery conviction.
Defendant now appeals, claiming the trial court abused its discretion by denying his Romero motion to dismiss his prior serious felony conviction allegation.[1] We disagree and shall affirm the judgment.
