P. v. Xiong
A jury convicted appellant, Chor Xiong, of the unlawful taking or driving of a motor vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)), and in two separate proceedings, appellant admitted allegations that he had suffered a “strike,â€[1] served two separate prison terms for prior felony convictions (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b))[2], and suffered a prior conviction of violating Vehicle Code section 10851 (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (e)). The court imposed a prison term of 10 years, consisting of the four-year upper term on the substantive offense, doubled pursuant to the three strikes law (§§ 667, subd. (e)(1); 1170.12, subd. (c)(1)), for a total of eight years, and one year on each of the two prior prison term enhancements. The court awarded appellant presentence custody credits of 415 days, consisting of 277 days of actual custody credits and 138 days of conduct credits.
On appeal, appellant contends the court erred in failing to (1) award him presentence conduct credits under the one-for-one credit scheme of the current iteration of section 4019; (2) conduct an adequate inquiry to determine if appellant needed the assistance of an interpreter; and (3) appoint an interpreter. We affirm.
