P. v. Morris CA6
Defendant William Robert Morris pleaded no contest to unlawful possession of a firearm and several other offenses arising from a search and seizure of him and his car. The trial court imposed an aggregate term of 32 months in state prison.
Prior to the preliminary hearing, Morris moved to suppress the fruits of the search under Penal Code section 1538.5. Based on the testimony of the police at the preliminary hearing, the magistrate denied the motion to suppress and held Morris to answer. Counsel for Morris did not renew the motion to suppress.
Morris now contends his counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to renew the motion to suppress. Alternatively, he contends we should review the magistrate’s order denying the motion.
