P. v. Wright
After the trial court denied a motion to suppress evidence (Pen. Code, S 1538.5) and dismiss the information (Pen. Code, S 995), Gene Wright entered a negotiated guilty plea to possessing methamphetamine for sale (Health and Saf. Code, S 11378) and admitted two prior drug convictions within Health and Safety Code, section 11370.2, subdivision (c) and a prior strike (Pen. Code, SS 667 subds. (b) (i), 1170.12, 668). The court denied a motion to strike the prior strike and sentenced Wright to a prison for five years eight months: double the 16-month lower term for possessing methamphetamine for sale with a prior strike enhanced three years for a prior drug conviction. It struck the second prior drug conviction finding. The record does not include a certificate of probable cause. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.304.)
