P. v. Mejia
Following denial of defendants renewed motion to suppress evidence pursuant to Penal Code section 1538.5, defendant submitted his case to the court for decision on the basis of the preliminary hearing transcript and a laboratory report and was convicted by the court of felony possession of methamphetamine (Health & Safety 11377, subd. (a)) in exchange for probation and a Proposition 36 referral. (Pen. Code 1210.) On appeal, defendant argues that he was illegally detained and searched, that counsel was ineffective for failing to argue that his detention was unduly prolonged, and that he was not properly advised prior to entering a slow plea and did not waive his right to a jury trial. (Bunnell v. Superior Court (1975) 13 Cal.3d 592 (Bunnell).) Court affirm.
