P. v. Singleton
A jury convicted defendant of one count of unlawful possession of a controlled substance. Defendant admitted two prior prison terms, one of which was a strike. Defendant moved to strike the strike prior pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero). The trial court denied the motion and sentenced defendant to the midterm of two years, doubled pursuant to the strike, plus one year for the prior conviction, for a total of five years in state prison.
On appeal, defendant contends the court’s denial of his Romero motion was an abuse of discretion. Court disagrees, and affirms the judgment.
