P. v. Lawrence CA2/8
Appellant Lydell Lawrence appeals the judgment following his conviction and sentence for carrying a concealed and loaded handgun in his vehicle. He argues the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress because the search of his vehicle exceeded the scope of his consent. We need not decide that issue because the search was independently justified by probable cause under the automobile exception. Appellant also requests that we review the sealed transcript of an in camera hearing on the discovery of officer personnel records pursuant to Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531 (Pitchess). We have done so and conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in ordering only one item of information disclosed. We correct an error in the fines imposed for his sentence and affirm.
