P. v. Buchanan
Defendant and appellant, Terry Buchanan, appeals from the judgment entered following revocation of probation previously granted after his pleas of no contest to presenting a forged prescription (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 4324, subd. (a)), and second degree commercial burglary (Pen. Code, § 459),[1] and his admissions that he previously suffered a conviction for a serious or violent felony, first degree burglary (§ 459), within the meaning of the Three Strikes law (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)) and had served nine separate prison terms for various felony convictions (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). The trial court sentenced Buchanan to 12 years in prison. Although Buchanan filed a timely notice of appeal, he failed to obtain from the trial court a certificate of probable cause. Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed.
