P. v. Costa CA3
Defendant Marc Anthony Costa, convicted of multiple drug-related felonies, contends the trial court failed to exercise its discretion in sentencing when it imposed a consecutive term on count 14 because the court mistakenly believed consecutive sentencing was mandatory. Defendant asks us to remand the matter to the trial court with directions to exercise its discretion as to consecutive or concurrent sentencing on count 14.
Observing that defendant did not raise this issue in the trial court, we requested supplemental briefing as to whether defendant’s contention was forfeited.
