In supplemental briefing, appellant contends his case should be remanded to give the trial court the opportunity to exercise the discretion authorized by the amended subdivision (c) of section 12022.5. Relying on People v. Francis (1969) 71 Cal.2d 66 and In re Estrada (1965) 63 Cal.2d 740, respondent concedes the foregoing amendment applies retroactively to appellant's case when the amendment went into effect and that his case is appropriate for remand.
