P. v. Sullivan CA3
Defendant John Thomas Sullivan--a registered sex offender--was told to leave by his landlady and locked out of the house. He did not reregister with law enforcement within the required five-day period. A jury found him guilty of a felony sex offender registration violation, and the trial court found he had a prior strike conviction and four prior prison terms. (Pen. Code, §§ 290.013, 667, subds. (b)-(i), 667.5, subd. (b).) The court sentenced defendant to prison for 10 years, and defendant timely filed this appeal.
On appeal, defendant contends no substantial evidence supports his felony conviction, trial counsel ineffectively conceded he had knowledge of his duty to reregister, and the trial court improperly refused a requested instruction regarding landlord-tenant law in his effort to show his eviction was unlawful. We shall affirm.
