P. v. Garcia
Appellant, pled no contest to possession of methamphetamine and an arming enhancement. Three other counts and two prior prison term enhancements were dismissed. The court sentenced Garcia to prison for the low term of 16 months years for possession of methamphetamine and to a consecutive one-year term for the arming enhancement. Appellant’s total prison term is two years four months. The court granted applicable custody credits and imposed a restitution fine.
Respondent initially seeks to dismiss the appeal for appellant’s failure to obtain a certificate of probable cause. On appeal, appellant contends the trial court erred in denying his motion to quash the search warrant and to suppress evidence retrieved as a result of the search. Appellant has requested this court to conduct independent review of a sealed portion of the search warrant and the reporter’s transcript of an in camera hearing conducted by the trial court. Court denied respondent’s motion to dismiss the appeal and affirmed the judgment.
