P. v. Jackson
Defendant was convicted of felony assault and sentenced under the Three Strikes law to a term of 25 years to life in prison. Defendant appealed, and court affirmed the judgment in an unpublished opinion. Among several other claims raised on appeal, defendant relied on Apprendi v. New Jersey (2000) 530 U.S. 466 to argue that he was erroneously denied a jury trial on the question of whether a prior conviction was based on serious felony conduct. Court rejected this challenge based on binding Supreme Court authority. Appeal dismissed.
