Ansaldo

A jury convicted Bobby Angelo Ansaldo of two counts of committing lewd and lascivious acts on a minor (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (c)) and one count of attempting that offense (Pen. Code, §§ 664, 288, subd. (c)), three counts of offering methamphetamine to minors (Health & Saf. Code, § 11380), possession of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)), and possession of burglary tools (Pen. Code, § 466). In bifurcated proceedings, the trial court found that Ansaldo had suffered three strike priors.

Therefore, we affirm, while directing the trial court to remove references to that enhancement from the abstract of judgment.
