P. v. Balandran
Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant and appellant Thomas Edward Balandran pled guilty to burglary (Pen. Code, § 459)[1] and petty theft with a prior theft-related conviction (§§ 484, subd. (a), 666, subd. (b)(1)).[2] He also admitted that he had sustained four prior prison terms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)), and one prior serious or violent strike conviction (§§ 667, subds. (c) & (e)(1), 1170.12, subd. (c)(1)). In exchange, the prior prison term allegations were stricken and defendant was sentenced to a total term of four years in state prison with credit for time served. Defendant appeals from the judgment, challenging the sentence or other matters occurring after the plea. As explained post, we will affirm the judgment but order the judgment modified and abstract of judgment corrected.
