Erdelen

James Charles Erdelen appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial that resulted in his conviction of vandalism (Pen. Code, § 594; count 2) and disobeying a domestic relations court order (§ 273.6; count 3) (both misdemeanors) and, following his negotiated plea of no contest to violating, with an act of violence or threat of violence, a restraining order after previously violating a court order within the past seven years (§ 273.6, former subd. (c); count 20). He was sentenced to a prison term of three years plus a consecutive jail term of one year. He contends that the trial court erred in failing to state its reasons for imposing a prison sentence, and that his sentence must be vacated and the matter remanded because the sentencing court erred in selecting the upper term for count 20. Additionally, he claims the trial court also erred by imposing full consecutive sentences on counts 2 and 3, both misdemeanors. We disagree and affirm.
