P. v. Bryant
Clay Bryant appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial that resulted in his conviction of one count of possession of cocaine (Health & Saf. Code, 11350, subd. (a)) with true findings that he had suffered a prior strike conviction (Pen. Code, 667, subds. (b)-(i) and 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)) and had served a prior prison term pursuant to Penal Code section 667.5, subdivision (b). Bryant contends that the prosecution offered insufficient evidence to prove that he possessed cocaine. He also requests that we independently review the transcript of the trial courts in camera hearing on Bryants Pitchess motion for discovery of evidence of misconduct by the arresting police officers (Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531), and that we reverse and remand if the record shows that he was improperly denied discoverable documents. Bryant and the Attorney General agree that if we affirm the judgment, additional trial surcharges and penalties must be imposed pursuant to People v. Chavez (2007) 149 Cal.App.4th 1340. Court impose additional fees and surcharges pursuant to Penal Code section 1464 and Government Code sections 70372, subdivision (a) and 76000. In all other respects, Court affirm the judgment.
