Defendant and appellant Steven Sanders appeals from a judgment after a jury trial in which he was convicted of willful infliction of corporal injury on a former cohabitant (Pen. Code, 273.5, subd. (a)) and possession of a firearm by a felon (Pen. Code, 12021, subd. (a)(1)).

Defendant also contends the sentencing court erred in imposing the upper term based on factors not found true by the jury. Court remand for resentencing.
