P. v. Colato CA2/2
Defendant and appellant Enrique Alejandro Barrera Colato (defendant) appeals from the judgment entered after he pled no contest to possession of marijuana for sale. Defendant makes several contentions relating to his right to counsel and his right to the effective assistance of counsel. He contends: that the trial court failed to conduct an inquiry required under People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118 (Marsden); that the trial court improperly heard defendant’s pro. per. motion to withdraw his plea while he was represented by counsel; that defense counsel had a conflict of interest; and that defense counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to move to withdraw his no contest plea. We find no merit to any of defendant’s contentions, and thus affirm the judgment.
