The following excerpt is from People v. Grant, B267035 (Cal. App. 2016):
1. Although defendant did not expressly ask the court to terminate his parole during the February 11, 2015 hearing, we liberally construe a criminal defendant's attempts to raise an error on appeal. (See People v. Bolinski (1968) 260 Cal.App.2d 705, 722.) Given the colloquy between the court and defendant concerning his parole status, we conclude he preserved his right to appeal the issue of whether the court should have terminated his parole status when it terminated PRCS.
