_________________2

Frank Anthony Dominguez and his sister attacked Sommer Stewart after she
insisted they leave her front porch. Stewart’s boyfriend, James Foster, intervened and
fought with Dominguez until he and his sister left. Stewart suffered hair loss and injuries
to her head and jaw. Two weeks later Dominguez an d his sister drove up and challenged
Foster to a fight as he was walking to his stepdaughter’s school. Dominguez repeatedly
struck Foster with a nightstick and physically restrained him while his sister punched and

kicked him. Foster fled and contacted police. During a search of Dominguez’s bedroom,

officers recovered a stolen car key and a stolen car s tereo face plate

. In an amended information the People charg ed Dominguez with one count of

ass ault with a deadly weapon on Fo ster (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1) ) 1 one count of
assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury on Stewart ( § 245, subd. (a)(4) )

and one count of receiving stolen property ( § 496 , subd. (b))

. The information specially
alleged as to the aggravated assault on Stewart that Dominguez had personally inflicted
great bodily injury ( § 12022.7, subd. (a)) . The information specially alleged as to both
aggravated assault counts that Dominguez had served two prior separate prison terms for

felon ies (§ 667 .5

, subd. (b) )

. 2 Domin g uez pleaded not guilty and denied the special
allegations.
A jury found D ominguez guilty of aggravated assault on Stewart and receiving
stolen property. It found true the special allegation Dominguez had personally inflicted
great bodily injury. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on the charge of aggravated

assault on Foster . T he trial court declared a mistrial on that count , and the People elected
to retry it

. Dominguez agreed to waive time for sentencing.
At a pretrial/trial setting conference Dominguez entered a negotiated plea of no

contest
, both orally and in writing, to assault with a deadly weapon on Foster

. Pursuant
to the agreement Dominguez would be sentenced to a term , to b e determined by the trial

court, to be served concurrently with the sentence imposed for the aggravated assault on

Stewart and recei pt of stolen property. At the time he entered his plea, Dominguez was advised of his constitutional rights and the nature and consequences of the plea, which
Dominguez stated he understood. Defense counsel joined in the waivers of Dominguez’ s constitutional rights and stipulated to a factual basis for the plea

. The tr ial court
expressly found Dominguez’ s waivers and plea were voluntary, knowing and intelligent.
In the same proceeding Dominguez also admitted th e two prior prison term allegations.
At sentencing the trial court imposed an aggregate state prison term of seven years, consisting of the upper term of four years for aggravated assault on Stewart, plus
three years for the great bodily injury enhancement, and concurrent terms of three years
for aggravated assault on Foster and 365 days for receiving stolen property. The court
stayed the one

- year sentence for each of the prior prison term enhancements. The court

awarded presentence custody credit of 371 days ( 32 2 actual days and 49 days of conduct
credit). The court ordered Dominguez to pay a $40 court security fee and a $30 criminal

conviction assessment on each count and a $2 8 0 restitution fine

. The court imposed and
suspended a parole revocation fine pursuant to section 1202.45.
We appointed counsel to represent Dominguez on appeal. After examination of

the record counsel filed an o pening brief in which no issues were raised. On

November 20 , 2013 we advised Dominguez he had 30 days within which to personally
submit any contentions or issues he wished us to consider. No r esponse has been

received to date.

We have examined the entire record and are satisfied Dominguez’ s counsel ha s complied fully with his responsibilities and no arguable issues exist. ( Smith v. Robbins

(2000) 528 U.S. 259, 277

- 284 [120 S.Ct. 746, 145 L.Ed.2d 756]; People v. Kelly (2006)

40 Cal.4th 106; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)

Because the one

- year enhancement under section 667.5, subdivision (b)

, must be
imposed or str u ck, the trial court erred in staying Dominguez’s prior prison term

enhancements. ( People v. Langston (2004) 33 Cal.4th 1237, 1241 [an enhancement for a4

prior prison term is mandatory unless stricken].) It appears from the record the court
intended to limit Dominguez’s sentence to seven years

. We therefore modify the
judgment to reflect the court’s intent and strike the two section 667.5, subdivision (b)

, enhancements.

The March 20, 2013 minute order and abstract of judgment show a restitution fine
in the amount of $140, rather than $280 as the trial court orally imposed. Accordingly,

we order the minute order and the abstract of judgment corrected to reflect the amount of

the restitution fine actuall y imposed. (See People v. Mitchell (2001) 26 Cal.4th 181, 183,

185

- 188.)

DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed as modified. The superior court is directed to prepare
and forward to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation a corrected abstract of
judgment that deletes the two one

- year prior prison term enhancements and shows a

restitution fine in the amount of $280.00.
