P. v. Amador CA2/1
Frank Teofilo Amador (defendant) appeals from the judgment following his convictions on three counts based on an incident of domestic violence. Defendant’s appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), identifying no issues and requesting that this court review the record and determine whether any arguable issue exists on appeal. We did so, and requested supplemental briefing from the parties regarding (1) imposition of mandatory assessments, and (2) application of the “Three Strikes” law.
Having considered that briefing, we conclude the trial court erred by imposing assessments on only one of the counts of which defendant was convicted, and direct the trial court to impose those assessments on the other two counts as well. We also remand for the trial court either to double the sentence on defendant’s third count, pursuant to the Three Strikes law, or to dismiss the prior strike conviction as to that count.
