P. v. Maxon
Defendant Kent Lee Maxon pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery. (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 212.5, subd. (b).[1]) He admitted allegations that he personally used a deadly weapon (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)) in the commission of both offenses and had suffered a prior conviction for robbery, which qualified as a serious felony and a strike (§§ 667, subds. (a), (b)-(i), 1170.12). After the trial court denied defendant’s motion to dismiss the strike allegation pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero), it sentenced defendant to a 12-year prison term.
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court abused its discretion by denying his Romero motion. For the reasons stated below, we will affirm the judgment.
