P. v. Chagollan CA2/4
Appellant Albert Florencio Chagollan was charged with and convicted of one count of driving or taking a vehicle without the consent of the owner (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)) and one count of misdemeanor possession of burglary tools (Pen. Code, § 466). He was sentenced as a second strike offender to four years in state prison. (See §§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d).) On appeal, he asks that we review the sealed transcript containing the trial court’s review of police officer personnel files performed pursuant to Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531 (Pitchess). Although it does not appear from the record that appellant joined in the Pitchess request made by his co-defendants, we have nonetheless reviewed the transcript. We conclude the court did not abuse its discretion in determining which complaint files were discoverable. We therefore affirm.
