P. v. Angeles
Defendant Lorenzo L. Angeles appeals after pleading no contest to making a criminal threat. (Pen. Code, § 422.[1]) Defendant also admitted that he had a prior conviction that qualified as a “strike†(§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12) and that he had served two prior prison terms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). He was sentenced to a three year eight month prison term.
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court violated his Sixth Amendment right to counsel when it failed to conduct a Marsden hearing[2] after he complained about trial counsel in his request for a certificate of probable cause. We will affirm the judgment.
