California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Lopez, F075992 (Cal. App. 2020):
initial counsel's ineffective representation by mistakenly believing Appellant had admitted to all the elements of each allegation when the transcript does not support this assessment"; "Appellant entered into the plea agreement under a mistake of fact"; and "Appellant entered into the plea agreement through duress." Because we find none of these claims constituted error, we reject appellant's cumulative error claim. (See People v. Phillips (2000) 22 Cal.4th 226, 244.)
We conclude appellant has shown no reversible error. To the extent we do not expressly discuss any point raised in appellant's briefs, we have considered and rejected it. (See People v. Clair (1992) 2 Cal.4th 629, 691, fn. 17; People v. Sully (1991) 53 Cal.3d 1195, 1252.)
The judgment is affirmed.
