P. .v Valdez
On appeal, appellant Hector Adam Valdez contends that the trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion to withdraw his plea of guilty to armed robbery. Valdez claims his plea was entered on the mistaken belief that he would receive custody credits at the normal rate and serve only half of his seven-year sentence. Because Valdez admitted that he had personally used a firearm in the commission of the offense, however, he was statutorily limited to earning no more than 15 percent custody credits. (Pen. Code,[1] 2933.) Valdez claims he would not have entered his plea had he known of the statutory limitation. Court find no abuse of discretion and affirm.
