FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

On July 12, 2010, defendant was charged by information with committing five felonies, including being a felon in possession of ammunition. The information also alleged that defendant had suffered a prior serious felony conviction within the meaning of the “Three Strikes” law and had served six prior prison terms. (Pen. Code, §§ 12316, subd. (b)(1), 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d), 667.5, subd. (b).) On October 4, 2010, defendant pled no contest to the ammunition charge and admitted that he had served one prior prison term. The court imposed a four-year prison term, suspended execution of the sentence, and placed defendant on formal probation for three years. On September 11, 2012, the court found defendant in violation of probation based on his failure to appear for court-ordered random drug testing, his positive drug results, and his failure to complete drug counseling. The previously suspended four-year prison sentence was imposed. This appeal followed.
