Disposition notice

On October 22, 2026, the Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the judgment against Samay Tow Pomsouvanh in C104224, arising from Butte County Superior Court case 25CF00318. Pomsouvanh pled no contest to two counts of first degree burglary and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon, admitted a prior strike conviction and a prior serious felony conviction, and received the parties' stipulated 21-year state prison sentence. The trial court also imposed mandatory minimum fines and fees, ordered victim restitution while reserving jurisdiction to set the amount, and awarded 336 total custody credits. Appointed counsel requested an independent record review under People v. Wende, and Pomsouvanh did not file a supplemental brief after being advised of his right to do so. The court found no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to him and affirmed. Justice Renner authored the opinion, with Acting Presiding Justice Mauro and Justice Boulware Eurie concurring.
