P. v. Serpa
Defendant pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) while armed with a loaded firearm and admitted that he had two strike convictions and had served a prior prison term. (Health & Saf. Code, 11370.1; Pen. Code, 667, subds. (b)-(i), 667.5, subd. (b), 1170.12.) Under the Three Strikes law, the court imposed a term of 25 years to life.
Defendant appeals from the judgment. (See Pen. Code, 1538.5, subd. (m); Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.304(b)(4)(A).) He claims the court erred in denying his motions to quash the search warrant and suppress evidence; and in connection with these motions, defendant claims the court abused its discretion in failing to personally interview a confidential informant. Defendant also claims the court erred in denying his motion to unseal a document on which the search warrant was based. Last, defendant claims the court erred in declining to dismiss at least one of his strike convictions. Court affirm the judgment.
