  People v. Segura (2008) , Cal.4th
[No. S148536. Aug. 4, 2008.]

THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. LUIS GREGORIO SEGURA, Defendant and Appellant.

(Superior Court of Los Angeles County, No. B189791, Wade D. Olson, Commissioner.)

(The Court of Appeal, Second Dist., Div. Three, No. KA071474, 144 Cal.App.4th 200.)

(Opinion by George, C. J., expressing the unanimous view of the court.)

OPINION

GEORGE, C. J.-

Defendant Luis Gregorio Segura was charged with the commission of a felony and was alleged to have suffered a prior felony conviction, with both the prior and the current offenses qualifying as "strikes" within the meaning of the "Three Strikes" law. He negotiated with the prosecutor a plea of no contest to the present charge in exchange for which the prior conviction allegation was to be dismissed and he was to be placed on probation on the condition, among others, that he serve 365 days in county jail. Prior to entering his plea, defendant waived his constitutional rights and acknowledged that if he was not a citizen of the United States, the one-year jail term would qualify the offense as an "aggravated felony" under federal law and require his deportation.
