Opinion
WORK, J.
Joseph Lamonte (Lamonte) appeals from a judgment of conviction after he pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm (Pen. Code, 1 § 12021, subd. (a)) and committing burglary (§459). He also ' petitions for a writ of mandate after the court partially denied his motion for return of computer and telephone equipment seized by police at the time of his arrest. Lamonte is entitled to the property because it is not contraband, stolen or subject to forfeiture. Thus, we grant the petition. We also affirm the judgment.
