P. v. Martus CA4/2
Defendant and appellant Robert Lawrence Martus was charged by felony complaint with carrying a concealed dirk or dagger. (Pen. Code, § 21310, count 1.) Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant pled no contest to count 1. A trial court sentenced him to the low term of 16 months in state prison, in accordance with the agreement.
Defendant filed a handwritten notice of appeal. He also requested a request for certificate of probable cause, in which he asked for a sober living program in a different county or dismissal of count 1. He also alleged that he had been denied effective assistance of counsel, alleging that defense counsel never attempted to investigate his claim that the knife he possessed was a steak knife. The court granted the request. We affirm the judgment.
