P. v. Nash
Bobby Nash (defendant) appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial resulting in his conviction of transporting a controlled substance, cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code, 11352, subd. (a)) and possessing cocaine base for sale (Health & Saf. Code, 11351.5). In bifurcated proceedings, the trial court found that defendant had one prior conviction of a serious or violent felony requiring sentencing pursuant to the Three Strikes law (Pen. Code, 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12)[1]and that he had served two separate prison terms for a felony ( 667.5, subd. (b)). The trial court sentenced him to an aggregate term of nine years in state prison.
He contends that (1) there was Faretta error (Faretta v. California (1975) 422 U.S. 806 (Faretta)), and (2) the prosecutor committed misconduct. Additionally, as is authorized by the decision in People v. Mooc (2001) 26 Cal.4th 1216, 1228-1232, (3) defendant requests a review of the in camera discovery proceedings on the Pitchess motion (Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531 (Pitchess)).
