California Court of Appeal
[Opinion certified for partial publication.*]
1Opinion of the Court
Opinion
O’LEARY, J.
Steven Allen Chenze appeals his felony conviction for battery on a custodial officer under Penal Code section 243.1. He contends section 243.1 was impliedly repealed by an amendment to section 243, which provides that a battery on a custodial officer is a misdemeanor (§ 243, subd. (b)); but if injury is inflicted, it may be sentenced as a misdemeanor or a felony (§ 243, subd. (c)(1)). He also complains the evidence was insufficient, the jury instructions were inadequate, and his counsel was incompetent. We reject his contentions and affirm.
Chenze was arrested on drug charges…
