P. v. Diaz
After defendant Jose Luis Diaz waived his right to a jury trial on his prior serious felony convictions and strikes, he was convicted of inflicting corporal injury resulting in trauma on Rosalinda Barrera, the mother of his children and with whom he had resided for about 13 years. (Pen. Code, 273.5, subd. (a); all further statutory references are to this code unless otherwise noted.) Defendant admitted two prior prison terms ( 667.5, subd. (b)) and two prior strike convictions ( 667, subds. (d), (e) & 1170.12, subds. (b) & (c)(2)(A)) and then moved to strike the convictions. The court granted the motion as to one conviction. It sentenced defendant to the upper term of four years (273.5) and, based on the remaining strike conviction, doubled it to eight years ( 667, subds. (d), (e)(1)). Two additional consecutive one-year terms were also imposed based on two prior prison terms defendant admitted. ( 667.5, subd. (b).) Defendant was given 30 days to file written argument on his own behalf. That period has passed and we have received no communication from him. Court examined the entire record to determine if any arguable issues were present, including those suggested by counsel, and found none. (People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at pp. 441-442; People v. Johnson (1981) 123 Cal.App.3d 106, 111-112.) The judgment is affirmed.
