Opinion
CHANNELL, J.
After a court trial, appellant Fakri Nassif Abdel-Malak was convicted of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211) 1 and sentenced to state prison. 2 He appeals, contending that he was deprived of (1) due process of law; (2) his right to a speedy trial; and (3) the effective assistance of counsel at trial. He also contends that (4) the trial court erred in admitting evidence of an unrelated robbery to prove identity. (Evid. Code, § 1101, subd. (b).) We reject these contentions and affirm the judgment.
