P. v. Pelayo
Appellant, Antonio Plascencia Pelayo, challenges his conviction and sentence for possession of methamphetamine for sale, possession of ecstasy for sale, and evading a police officer. He challenges the validity of a search warrant for his residence, which was based primarily on information received from confidential informants and contained in a partially sealed affidavit. Pelayo also argues that Penal Code section 654 bars his punishment for possession of both methamphetamine and ecstasy for sale. Finally, he argues that he is entitled to the benefit of 2009 amendments to Penal Code section 4019 which went into effect on January 25, 2010 pursuant to Senate Bill No. 18 (2009–2010 3d Ex. Sess.) and increased the good conduct credits available to a defendant for presentence custody in a local detention facility. (Stats. 2009, 3d Ex. Sess. 2009–2010, ch. 28, § 50.) We find no error and affirm.[1]
