P. v. Vargas
Miguel Angel Vargas appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial that resulted in his convictions for assault on a peace officer with a semiautomatic firearm (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (d)(2); count 1),[1] during which offense he personally used a firearm (§§ 12022.53, subd. (b), 12022.5, subds. (a) & (d)) and discharged a firearm (§ 12022.53, subd. (c)), and possession of a firearm by a felon (former § 12021, subd. (a)(1); count 3)[2] and court findings that he had suffered a prior serious felony conviction (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)), which qualified as a strike under the “Three Strikes†law (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d); counts 1 & 3).[3]
