P. v. Quarles CA4/1
A jury convicted Nikko Jovar Quarles of second degree robbery (Pen. Code,
§ 211; count 1) and being a felon in possession of a firearm (§ 29800, subd. (a)(1); count 2). It found true allegations that Quarles personally used a firearm in the commission of the count 1 robbery (§ 12022.53, subd. (b)). Quarles thereafter admitted he had suffered five prior prison terms (alleged as prior offenses 2 through 6; § 667.5, subd. (b)) and the trial court found true allegations he had suffered a sixth prior prison term (alleged as prior offense 7). The court sentenced Quarles to 18 years in state prison consisting of the lower term of two years, plus 10 years for the firearm enhancement, plus six years for the prior prison terms, and a two-year sentence on count 2, stayed under section 654.
