P. v. Bryant CA3
Defendant Domenick Lacurt Bryant pleaded no contest to possession of precursors for manufacture of methamphetamine with intent to sell, conspiracy to commit that offense, and commercial burglary. He also admitted a prior strike conviction and three prior prison terms. The trial court originally sentenced defendant to 11 years 8 months in prison, but subsequently resentenced him to 10 years 4 months in prison.
In his appellant’s opening brief, defendant argued he was entitled to an additional reduction of his sentence because one of his prior prison terms was for petty theft with a prior, a conviction that has since been reduced to a misdemeanor. We affirmed the judgment in a 2017 unpublished opinion (People v. Bryant (May 5, 2017, C078629) [nonpub. opn.]), but the California Supreme Court granted review and deferred the matter pending disposition of a related issue in People v. Valenzuela, S232900, or pending further order of the court.
