P. v. Greisofe CA4/1
Shane Michael Greisofe pleaded guilty to five counts of first degree burglary of an inhabited dwelling (Pen. Code, §§ 459, 460) and admitted various enhancements based on prior convictions. The trial court sentenced him to a total term of over 26 years in state prison. On appeal, Greisofe contends the court abused its discretion by allegedly failing to consider his substance abuse problem as a relevant factor in sentencing. However, during the sentencing hearing, defense counsel asserted no objection to the court's statement of reasons for its decision. Moreover, the court was aware of Greisofe's substance abuse history but believed he was "beyond rehabilitation" and needed to be imprisoned. We conclude Greisofe forfeited his claim on appeal and in any event, has failed to establish an abuse of the court's discretion. Accordingly, we affirm.
