P. v. Bazan CA4/3
Defendant William Bazan appeals from the judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of unlawfully taking a vehicle. The jury also found he had suffered three prior convictions and served one prior prison term within the meaning of Penal Code section 667.5. (All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise specified.) Bazan argues the trial court erred by denying his request to strike his prior strike convictions under section 1385 and People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero).
We affirm the judgment of conviction, but remand with directions that the trial court hold a hearing to reconsider and clarify the record regarding Bazan’s request to strike his prior strike convictions for purposes of sentencing.
