FACTS A jury convicted Ramos of two counts of second-degree robbery in violation of section 211, for the robberies of Bank of America on April 20, 2000 (count 1), and California Federal Bank on May 25, 2000 (count 3). It also found that Ramos suffered three prior serious felony convictions, alleged for sentence enhancement and recidivist sentencing under the Three Strikes Law. (§§ 667, subds.

As part of a plea agreement, the court agreed to sentence Ramos as a second strike defendant regarding the drug offenses. Ramos agreed to allow the court to determine the truth of the prior serious felony allegations. The court found the allegations true but then dismissed two of the three prior serious felony allegations pursuant to section 1385, subdivision (a), and People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497, concerning counts 4 and 5 only. The trial court sentenced Ramos to two consecutive 25 year-to-life terms for counts 1 and 3, plus two consecutive five- year enhancements pursuant to section 667, subdivision (a). It also sentenced him to two concurrent four-year terms for counts 4 and 5, for a total determinate term of 14 years. The court stayed terms on two section 667.5, subdivision (b) enhancements.
