Opinion
Klein, J.
Rodney Lashawn Dawkins appeals from the judgment after a jury trial in which he was convicted of first degree burglary. (Pen. Code, § 459.) After the jury returned its verdict, appellant admitted he had a prior serious felony conviction that also constituted a strike within the meaning of the “Three Strikes” law (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subds. (a)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)) and he had served a prior separate prison term for a felony (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)).
At sentencing, the trial court denied appellant’s motion pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 [ 53 Cal.Rptr.2d 789 , 917 P.2d 628 ] to sentence him as if he had no prior strike conviction. It sentenced him to an aggregate term in state prison of 14 years, consisting of a doubled middle term of four years, or eight years, enhanced by five years for the prior serious felony conviction and by one year for having served a prior separate prison term.
CONTENTION
Appellant contends the audio recording of the 911 call was inadmissible in evidence as it was not properly authenticated.
