California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Nevarez, B253120 (Cal. App. 2014):

1. Defendant did not obtain a certificate of probable cause. (Pen. Code, 1237.5.) Accordingly, defendant's appeal is limited to "[g]rounds that arose after entry of the plea and do not affect the plea's validity." (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.304(b)(1) and (4); People v. Mendez (1999) 19 Cal.4th 1084, 1099.)
