P. v. Zuniga CA2/2
Defendant and appellant Jeff Zuniga (defendant) appeals from the judgment entered after the trial court revoked his probation and the imposition of a previously suspended sentence. He contends that the trial court abused its discretion by granting the prosecutor’s continuance of the revocation hearing from January 19, 2021, to February 2, 2021, and that defense counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the continuance. Defendant also argues that the hearing of February 2, 2021, was barred by collateral estoppel as well as the prohibition against multiple punishment (Pen. Code, § 654) and again that his counsel was ineffective for failing to object. Finally defendant contends that the trial court abused its discretion in admitting hearsay testimony at the revocation hearing. Finding no merit in any of defendant’s contentions, we affirm the judgment.
