P. v. Guzman CA4/3
Defendant Amparo Jose Guzman was charged in the information with transporting methamphetamine for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11379, subd. (a); count one), possession of methamphetamine for sale (§ 11378; count two), and driving on a suspended license (Veh. Code, §14601.1, subd. (a); count three). Guzman pled guilty to the Vehicle Code violation before trial and sentencing was continued until after the trial on the drug charges. The jury acquitted defendant of the offenses charged in counts one and two, and convicted him of two counts of misdemeanor possession of methamphetamine (§ 11377, subd. (a)), as lesser included offenses of counts one and two. The court placed defendant on three years of informal probation and, in addition to other terms and conditions of probation, ordered defendant to serve 60 days in custody and register as a narcotics offender, purportedly pursuant to section 11590. The court imposed a fine on the Vehicle Code conviction.
