P. v. Acosta CA4/3
A jury convicted defendant Frank Acosta, Jr., of transportation and possession for sale of methamphetamine. (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 11378, 11379, subd. (a).) Defendant admitted having six prior convictions for possession of a controlled substance, three prior convictions for transportation of a controlled substance, and the service of three prior prison terms. The court sentenced defendant to 10 years. Defendant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to prove he possessed methamphetamine, or in the alternative, that he possessed methamphetamine for sale. Defendant also contends the court failed to rule on his oral motion for a new trial, or in the alternative, that his attorney’s failure to pursue a motion for a new trial amounts to ineffective assistance of counsel. We reject defendant’s arguments and affirm the judgment.
