The following excerpt is from People v. Vincent C. (In re Vincent C.), C084570 (Cal. App. 2019):
Because this appeal was taken after a guilty plea, we review the Pitchess proceedings only to the extent the Pitchess motion was intertwined with issues raised under Penal Code section 1538.5. (See People v. Hobbs (1994) 7 Cal.4th 948, 955-956 [challenge to sealing affidavit relative to search warrant, directed to legality of the search, cognizable on appeal after a plea]; see also People v. Collins (2004) 115 Cal.App.4th 137, 149-151.)
