P. v. Vallijo CA3
Defendant Jose Maria Vallijo pled no contest to possession of a firearm as a felon and a prior strike after a magistrate denied his motion to suppress evidence. On appeal, he argues the magistrate erred in denying his motion to suppress at the conclusion of the preliminary hearing. Recognizing his attorney may not have adequately preserved this issue for appeal, defendant also argues his counsel was ineffective for failing to renew his motion with the trial court. We agree that defendant’s counsel was ineffective, so we reverse the judgment and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
