P. v. Gould
Appellant Bruce Jay Gould was arrested as part of an undercover operation when he was found in joint possession of over 200 grams of methamphetamine in his truck. A search warrant was subsequently issued for a residence he shared with his girlfriend, which revealed additional quantities of methamphetamine and marijuana, packaging materials, substantial amounts of cash, and several firearms. He was convicted of transportation, possession of methamphetamine and marijuana for sale, and being an ex felon in possession of a firearm, with enhancements for prior strike and narcotics convictions, and sentenced to 16 years four months.
Court find the court abused its discretion when it denied appellants posttrial motion for a continuance, and that it should have allowed his newly retained attorney to assume representation of him to prepare and file posttrial motions.
