Opinion

BUTLER, J.

A jury convicted Javier Aguilar Cardenas of second degree burglary (Pen. Code,2 § 459) and he admitted three previous felony convictions. The trial court imposed sentence totaling six years: the three-year upper term for the burglary plus one year consecutive for each felony prior pursuant to section 667.5, subdivision (b).

Cardenas now appeals, contending the court’s denial of his motion to proceed in propria persona deprived him of a fair trial, and use of his previous in-prison felony conviction to enhance his sentence was improper.
