P. v. Dabney CA2/3
After his mental competence was restored, defendant Gregory Dabney pled no contest to second-degree robbery and admitted several prior convictions. The trial court sentenced him to 18 years in prison and awarded him 1,760 days of custody credit. On appeal, defendant contends the court erred by refusing to hold another mental competency hearing before accepting his plea, and he is entitled to two additional days of presentence custody credit. We conclude defendant did not establish a substantial change of circumstances casting doubt on the validity of the previous finding that his competence had been restored. We conclude, however, he is entitled to 1,762 days of custody credit and modify the judgment accordingly. As modified, we affirm the judgment.
