The following excerpt is from People v. Flores, 198 Cal.App.3d 1156, 244 Cal.Rptr. 322 (Cal. App. 1988):
In People v. Cheffen (1969) 2 Cal.App.3d 638, 82 Cal.Rptr. 658, the trial court pronounced judgment on only two of the five counts of which defendant was convicted. ( Id. at p. 641, 82 Cal.Rptr. 658.) The appellate court reversed the two counts on which the court had pronounced sentence and remanded the case to the trial court for judgment on the remaining three convictions. ( Id. at p. 643, 82 Cal.Rptr. 658.) In doing so, the court stated, "Section 1202 has no application in a case in which sentence has been imposed, even though that sentence is a void sentence." ( Id. at p. 642, 82 Cal.Rptr. 658.)
