P. v. Saunders CA4/1
Chelsea Saunders pleaded guilty to assaulting a peace officer with a firearm and making a criminal threat, and admitted to a firearm-use enhancement allegation. (Pen. Code, §§ 245, subd. (d), 422, 12022.5, subd. (a), 1192.7, subd. (c)(11), (23), (31).) As part of her guilty plea, Saunders agreed to a stipulated sentence of 17 years 8 months.

On appeal, Saunders contends the trial court abused its discretion. We reject her arguments, and affirm.
