Can a defendant appeal his conviction for failing to comply with the terms of his sentence?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. La Shaun Griffin, E069089 (Cal. App. 2018):

After defendant filed a notice of appeal, this court appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, setting forth a statement of the case and identifying four potentially arguable issues: (1) whether there was an adequate factual basis for the plea; (2) whether an appeal asserting an inadequate factual basis for the plea may proceed without a certificate of probable cause; (3) whether the court sentenced defendant to the agreed-upon term; and (4) whether purported errors in the calculation of custody credits, fines, and fees are independently appealable.2 We affirm.
