Flood

In November 2001, defendant Shawn Patrick Flood pleaded no contest to a September 2000 assault with a deadly weapon and by means likely to produce great bodily injury. (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1); further statutory references are to the Penal Code.) He admitted allegations that he personally used a knife (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)), that he personally inflicted great bodily injury (§ 12022.7), and that he suffered a November 2000 strike conviction (§ 667, subds. (b)-(i)) in Kitsap County, Washington. His counsel stipulated that there is a factual basis for the charge and the allegations. In exchange, a count of attempted premeditated murder (§§ 187, subd. (a), 664) was dismissed along with allegations of knife use and great bodily injury. Defendant was sentenced to a stipulated state prison term of 12 years. He obtained a certificate of probable cause.

On appeal, defendant contends the matter must be remanded for resentencing because his November 2000 conviction is not a strike. We affirm the judgment.
