P. v. Villanueva
On December 8, 2005, a jury convicted appellant, Arnulfo Anthony Villanueva, of assault with a deadly weapon likely to cause great bodily injury (Pen. Code, 245, subd. (a)(1), count one), possession of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, 11377, subd. (a), count two), and giving false information to an officer (Pen. Code, 148.9, subd. (a), count three). The jury further found true an allegation that appellant personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim (Pen. Code, 12022.7, subd. (a)). The trial court sentenced appellant to the upper four year term on count one, a consecutive three year term for the great bodily injury enhancement, and a consecutive term of eight months on count two for a total prison term of seven years eight months.
On appeal, appellant contends the trial court erred in denying trial counsels request for a continuance after counsel informed the court he had failed to examine photographic exhibits prior to the beginning of trial. Appellant further contends his counsel was ineffective for failing to view the photographic exhibits prior to the beginning of trial. Court affirm.
