P. v. Lucero
Defendant entered a negotiated plea of guilty to possession of cocaine in exchange for the upper term of three years, suspended on the condition that he complete drug court. Defendant, at the time of his plea, was serving a term for violation of parole on another matter and was unable to start drug court until he was released. Defendant agreed to plead to the possession offense and continue sentencing until a month or two before his scheduled release on the parole violation term. The prosecutor stated for the record that drug court was a “one-time deal,” and if defendant failed drug court he would serve three years in state prison for the possession offense. The prosecutor dismissed the remaining counts for insufficient evidence. The prosecutor dismissed the allegations in light of defendant’s plea.
Defendant appeals requesting the court independently review the record. No argurable error found. Judgment Affirmed.
