People v. McRae CA4/1
Opinion
Opinion
Aaron, J.
facts are not relevant to the claim asserted on appeal. 3 and a one-year prison prior under section 667.5, subdivision (b) are imposed for the
same prior conviction (see Jones, at pp. 1145-1146), the proper remedy is to remand the
matter to "the trial court with directions to strike the one-year enhancement of
defendant's sentence . . . under subdivision (b) of section 667.5." (Id. at p. 1153, italics
added.)
At sentencing, the trial court imposed a five-year serious felony enhancement
(§§ 667, subd. (a)(1), 668, 1192.7, subd. (c)) based on McRae's conviction in
SCN181880. The court then stated, "[S]ince a prison prior . . . serves as the basis for
the serious felony prior . . . the first prison prior[4] is stayed pursuant to [Jones] . . . ."
(Italics added.)
We agree that, under Jones, the trial court erred in staying, rather than striking,
the one-year prison prior enhancement (§ 667.5, subd. (b)) that arose from SCN181880.
The information listed the prison prior that arose from SCN181880 as the "First Prison Prior." (Capitalization altered.)
