People v. Scott CA3

BACKGROUND

Defendant’s ultimate sentence in this matter was derived from four separate cases, which we will briefly describe herein. In Tehama County Superior Court case No. 19CR000316 (the February 2019 case), the People charged defendant with possession of a firearm by a felon (§ 29800, subd. (a)(1); count I); possession of a concealed firearm (§ 25400, subd. (a)(2); count II); misdemeanor driving on a suspended license with a prior (Veh. Code, § 14601.1, subd. (a); count III); and possession of ammunition by a felon (§ 30305, subd. (a)(1); count IV). Defendant resolved the matter by pleading guilty to counts III and IV, and in exchange, he received five years’ formal probation and dismissal of the remaining counts. The stipulated factual basis for his plea was Tehama County Sheriff’s Office report No. 19-00216. In Tehama County Superior Court case No. 19CR002530 (the September 2019 case), defendant was again charged with possession of ammunition by a felon (§ 30305,
