P. v. Figueroa CA4/2
A jury found defendant and appellant John Figueroa guilty of first degree burglary. Defendant admitted the allegations that he had suffered one prior prison term, had two prior serious felony convictions, and had two prior strike convictions. A trial court subsequently struck the prior prison conviction, which was for a conviction that is now a misdemeanor. At sentencing, the court dismissed one of the prior strike convictions, pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497. It then sentenced defendant to four years, doubled pursuant to the remaining prior strike, plus five years on both of the prior serious felony enhancements, for a total term of 18 years in state prison.
