IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT (Shasta) ----

THE PEOPLE, C093435

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. 19F7188)

v.

COLTON JAMES ROOD,

Defendant and Appellant.

On October 11, 2019, while in jail, defendant assaulted a custodial deputy as he tried to escort defendant to the visiting room, causing various injuries. Defendant was charged with assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, assault upon a custodial officer and obstructing/resisting an executive officer. The complaint also alleged a strike for a prior serious/violent felony. Defendant pled no contest to assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury and admitted the prior strike. In exchange, the remaining counts were dismissed, and defendant agreed to a stipulated term of three years doubled for the strike. Following

the plea, the trial court immediately imposed judgment. The court awarded custody credits in the total amount of 272 days (237 actual and 35 conduct). The court ordered defendant to pay a conviction assessment of $30, a court operations assessment of $40, and a restitution fine of $300, with an additional $300 parole revocation fine, which was stayed pending successful completion of parole. On January 1, 2021, defendant submitted a notice of appeal, which the court received but did not immediately file. On January 28, 2021, in this court, defendant filed a request for an order permitting the filing of a notice of appeal more than 60 days after sentencing under the constructive filing doctrine. (In re Benoit (1973) 10 Cal.3d 72.) This court granted defendant’s request for constructive filing of the notice of appeal and deemed defendant’s notice of appeal timely for all purposes of appellate review. DISCUSSION We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts and procedural history of the case and requests this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was advised by counsel of his right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days from the date the opening brief was filed. Defendant filed a supplemental brief arguing the trial court unconstitutionally erred in imposing sentence for his strike offense because he did not have a jury trial on the strike allegation and because imposition of sentence for the strike placed him in double jeopardy. Defendant first contends that his sentence for the strike allegation was unconstitutional because the sentence violated his constitutional right to jury trial under Cunningham v. California (2007) 549 U.S. 270 [166 L.Ed.2d 856] and Apprendi v. New Jersey (2000) 530 U.S. 466 [147 L.Ed.2d 435]. This contention is not supported by the record. (See, e.g., People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 126.) When the change of plea was entered, defendant waived jury trial, admitted the prior strike conviction, and
