P. v. Alvarez CA5
Juan Carlos Alvarez stands convicted of multiple felony offenses including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and active participation in a criminal street gang. His claims on appeal allege ineffective assistance of counsel, evidentiary error, and sentencing error. He further contends that the trial court erred by denying a motion for the replacement of appointed counsel pursuant to People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118 (Marsden). We reject all but one of his claims, and the exception concerns an inapplicable sentencing enhancement. The judgment will be modified to strike that enhancement. Subject to this modification, we affirm.
