P. v. Rubio CA2/8
This case came before us again due to a docketing issue.
We filed our opinion on November 4, 2021. Appellant Jose Hipolito Rubio petitioned for review. This court then discovered Rubio’s reply brief had not been docketed and alerted Rubio’s counsel. The California Supreme Court directed us to vacate our decision and to reconsider the matter in light of Rubio’s reply brief. We have done so. We have considered the reply brief and Rubio’s supplemental letter brief. We are refiling the original opinion with minor changes.
***
Appellant Jose Hipolito Rubio was convicted of two first degree murders with special circumstances. The trial court sentenced appellant to two consecutive terms of life without the possibility of parole and further imposed two 25-years-to-life enhancements for the use of a firearm causing death.
