P. v. Ezell CA4/2
A jury found defendant and appellant Roy Ezell guilty of first degree burglary while another person, other than an accomplice, was present, and unlawfully taking or driving a vehicle. In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found true that defendant had suffered one prior strike conviction, one prior serious felony conviction, and two prior prison terms. As a result, defendant was sentenced to a total term of 17 years in state prison, consisting of 12 years on the burglary count, plus a consecutive five years for the prior serious felony conviction. The sentence on count 2 was imposed but stayed pursuant to section 654. The trial court also imposed a concurrent one-year sentence on one of defendant’s prior prison term enhancements.
On appeal, defendant contends We reject defendant’s first claim of error because the record reveals defendant abandoned his request to represent himself.
