P. v. Rodriguez CA2/6
Joshua Alexander Rodriguez pled no contest to one count of child abuse (Pen. Code, § 273a, subd. (a)), and admitted an allegation that he inflicted great bodily injury on a child under the age of five (§ 12022.7, subd. (d)). He admitted a prior serious felony conviction (§ 667, subd. (d)(1)) and a prior prison term (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). The trial court sentenced him to 18 years in state prison: the middle term of four years on the child abuse conviction, doubled because of the prior serious felony conviction (§ 667, subd. (e)(1)); a consecutive five years on the great bodily injury allegation; and another consecutive five years on the serious felony enhancement (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)).
Rodriguez filed a request for a certificate of probable cause (§ 1237.5), which the trial court granted. He contends counsel provided ineffective assistance at various stages of the proceedings. We affirm.
