P. v. Wisneski
Defendant Richard Wisneski entered a plea of no contest to transportation of cocaine from one county to a noncontiguous county (Health & Saf. Code, § 11352, subd. (b); undesignated section references are to this code; count one) and possession of cocaine for sale (§ 11351; count two) and, in connection with both counts, admitted that the amount of cocaine exceeded 20 kilograms by weight (§ 11370.4, subd. (a)(4)). Defendant entered his plea in exchange for a sentencing lid of 18 years. In entering his plea, defendant understood that the trial court would consider a “split†term, but not probation.
The court sentenced defendant on count one to the low term of three years plus 15 years for the quantity enhancement. The court ordered a “split†sentence under realignment, that is, defendant serves 13 of the 18 years in county jail and the remaining five years on mandatory supervision. (Pen. Code, § 1170, subd. (h)(5)(B).) Sentence on count two was imposed and stayed (Pen. Code, § 654).[1]
Defendant appeals. The trial court granted defendant’s request for a certificate of probable cause (Pen. Code, § 1237.5). Defendant contends the court erred in imposing the enhancement. We affirm the judgment.
