P. v. Crockett
On March 7, 2011, appellant pled no contest to one count of a six-count information that had been filed against him in January of that year. That count charged battery upon a peace officer with injury, in violation of Penal Code section 243, subdivision (c)(2).[1] The charging information also alleged a prior serious or violent felony under sections 1170.12, subdivisions (a)-(d) and 667, subdivisions (b)-(i), as well as a prior prison term served (see § 667.5, subd. (b)), both of which appellant admitted at the time of his no contest plea. The court later denied appellant’s motion, brought under People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero), to dismiss his prior strike, denied him probation, and sentenced him to serve five years in state prison. Appellant appeals, claiming an abuse of discretion by the trial court, but we affirm the judgment entered, including the sentence imposed.
