Does a defendant have forfeited review of his section 17(b) motion?

The Attorney General contends that defendant has forfeited review of his section 17(b) motion, because he withdrew the motion. Ordinarily, this court will not review a tentative ruling when no definite ruling follows. (People v. Burnett (2003) 110 Cal.App.4th 868, 880.) However, we reach the procedural issue under these circumstances due to the necessity of a trial court ruling on the scope and terms of the plea agreement before the initial sentencing, in light of the enduring effect of initial felony versus misdemeanor treatment on the strike character of defendant's section 422 conviction.
