P. v. Gomez
Ralph Gomez appeals from a judgment which sentences him to seven years in state prison for transportation of heroin and cocaine base for sale. Gomez challenges various trial court evidentiary rulings, each of which we find meritless. We further find the trial court did not err when it failed to stay the sentence for transportation of cocaine base under Penal Code section 654. However, we find the trial court abused its discretion when it denied Gomez’s motion pursuant to Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531 (Pitchess). Accordingly, we conditionally reverse the judgment and remand with directions. The judgment is otherwise affirmed.
