Does a no contest plea restrict the scope of an appeal?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Parstchlucchesi, A153099, A153627 (Cal. App. 2018):

Appellant's no contest plea restricts the scope of the appeal before us. Because she did not request a certificate of probable cause, her appeal is limited to "postplea claims, including sentencing issues, that do not challenge the validity of the plea." (People v. Cuevas (2008) 44 Cal.4th 374, 379; People v. Brown (2010) 181 Cal.App.4th 356, 359-360.)

Appellate counsel advised appellant of her right to file a supplemental brief to bring to this court's attention any issue she believes deserves review. (See People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106.) Appellant did not file a supplemental brief.
