P. v. Dissinger
A jury found defendant guilty of possession of a firearm by a felon (Pen. Code, 12021, subd. (a)(1)), possession of a controlled substance (Health and Saf. Code, 11350, subd. (a)) and bringing a controlled substance into jail ( 4573), all of which were committed while defendant was on probation in another case.
On appeal, defendant contends the trial court erred by (1) failing to conduct further inquiry regarding two jurors ability to be fair and impartial given their employer employee relationship, (2) failing to instruct the jury, sua sponte, with CALJIC No. 2.23, (3) imposing separate but concurrent sentences for the two drug-related offenses rather than staying the sentence for possession pursuant to section 654, (4) imposing a 10 percent administrative fee, and (5) imposing consecutive sentences in violation of defendants constitutional rights to a jury trial and due process. Court affirm the judgment.
