P. v. Schleuder
Defendant was convicted by a jury of failure to register as a sex offender. (Pen. Code, S 290.) The court found that defendant had suffered three strike convictions, and served two prior prison terms. The court struck two of the strikes and sentenced defendant to eight years in prison, consisting of the aggravated term of three years for the registration offense, doubled with the strike conviction, plus two consecutive one year prison prior enhancements. Defendant contends that: the registration conviction is not supported by substantial evidence; the jury instructions were flawed; his counsel was incompetent; his sentence must be reduced to a misdemeanor; and one of the sentence enhancements must be stricken. Court agree only with the argument as to the sentence enhancement. Court therefore strike the enhancement, and affirm the judgment as so modified.
