P. v. Lamb
After his suppression motion was denied, defendant pleaded no contest to possession of a firearm by a felon (Pen. Code, S 12021, subd. (a)(1)) and possession of ammunition by a felon (Pen. Code, S 12316, subd. (b)), and he admitted that he had served prison terms for two prior felony convictions (Pen. Code, S 667.5, subd. (b)). He was sentenced to an agreed term of two years in prison. On appeal, defendant claims that his suppression motion should have been granted because the parole search that led to the charges included a search of the closet of a bedroom in which he did not reside. Court conclude that the superior court did not err in concluding that the searching officers reasonably believed that defendant had access to the closet, and therefore the search of the closet did not exceed the proper scope of a parole search. Court affirm the judgment.
