P. v. Girard CA4/2
APPEAL from the Superior Court of Riverside County. Mark Mandio, Judge. Affirmed.
Barbara A. Smith, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
Kamala D. Harris, Attorney General, Gerald A. Engler, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Julie L. Garland, Assistant Attorney General, Theodore Cropley and Laura Baggett, Deputy Attorneys General, for Plaintiff and Respondent.
Defendant and appellant Amber Marie Girard appeals from the superior court’s order denying her motion to withdraw her guilty plea. On appeal, she argues that the trial court abused its discretion in denying her motion because her trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to investigate whether her prior conviction constituted a strike. We reject defendant’s contention and affirm the judgment.
