What is the effect of a motion to suppress evidence at a preliminary hearing?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Harbison, A148738 (Cal. App. 2017):

2. Although defendant states his appeal challenges the magistrate's denial of his motion to suppress at the preliminary hearing, actually, his appeal is from the trial court's denial of his renewed motion to suppress based on the preliminary hearing transcript (People v. Torres (2010) 188 Cal.App.4th 775, 783) and we so construe his notice of appeal.

3. The facts are drawn from the transcript of the joint preliminary hearing/motion to suppress evidence.
