California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Baker, C087396 (Cal. App. 2019):
Because defendant appeals from a judgment based on his plea of no contest and he failed to obtain a certificate of probable cause, his appeal must be dismissed. ( 1237.5; People v. Mendez (1999) 19 Cal.4th 1084, 1096-1097.)
The appeal is dismissed.
