P. v. Agundez
Defendant and appellant Joey Alexander Agundez (defendant) pled guilty, pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement, to attempted murder (Pen. Code, §§ 664, 187, subd. (a)) and admitted the criminal street gang special allegation (Pen. Code, § 186.22, subd. (b)). The trial court, in turn, sentenced defendant to the agreed upon term of 17 years in state prison.
Defendant contends in this appeal that the trial court failed to conduct an adequate inquiry into defendant’s postplea request to appoint substitute counsel to represent him at sentencing. We conclude defendant’s claim is meritless, and therefore we will affirm the judgment.
