P. v. Dominguez CA1/2
Ramon Dominguez appeals from convictions of robbery in an inhabited dwelling, resisting an executive officer, and assault by force likely to produce great bodily injury entered upon his plea of no contest. He contends his plea was involuntary because his attorney falsely advised he was facing a life sentence, and the trial court abused its discretion in denying his request to withdraw the plea and failing to appoint substitute counsel. He also maintains two assessments and a restitution fine imposed at sentencing must be stayed pending an ability to pay hearing. Finally, he contends a remand is required due to statutory amendments affecting trial courts’ sentencing discretion that became effective during the pendency of this appeal. We find his arguments without merit and affirm the judgment.
