INTRODUCTION

Defendant Silvano Angel Lopez attacked the victim—his daughter’s mother—threatening her with a potato peeler and scissors. A jury convicted defendant of three crimes: kidnapping (Pen. Code, § 207, subd. (a)); inflicting a corporal injury while personally using a deadly and dangerous weapon (Pen. Code, §§ 273.5, subd. (e)(1), 1192.7, subd. (c)(23), 12022, subd. (b)(1)); and making criminal threats while personally using a deadly and dangerous weapon (Pen. Code, §§ 422, 1192.7, subd. (c)(23), 12022, subd. (b)(1)). The court sentenced defendant to five years in prison and imposed various assessments and fines.

On appeal, defendant asserts three challenges. He contends the court erred by refusing to allow two witnesses to testify about the victim’s purported reputation for lying and making false accusations. He also protests the criminal conviction assessment (Gov. Code, § 70373) and the order prohibiting him from owning, possessing, or controlling any deadly weapon or related paraphernalia.
