P. v. Grays CA4/2
Defendant and appellant London Grays choked and pushed his girlfriend, stole her cellular phone, and destroyed cabinetry following an argument. Pursuant to a negotiated disposition, defendant eventually pled no contest to corporal injury to a cohabitant (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a)), in exchange for an indicated sentence of four years in state prison and dismissal of the remaining allegations. Prior to sentencing, defendant moved to withdraw his guilty plea based on ineffective assistance of counsel. After an evidentiary hearing, the trial court denied defendant’s motion to withdraw his plea. The trial court subsequently sentenced defendant to four years in state prison with 561 days of credit for time served, and dismissed the remaining counts and enhancement allegations. Defendant appeals from the judgment, challenging the validity of the plea. Based on our independent review of the record, we find no error and affirm the judgment.
