What is the standard of review applicable to a postjudgment motion to vacate a plea?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Holdridge, A135692 (Cal. App. 2013):
Because a postjudgment motion to vacate a plea is the equivalent of a petition for writ of error coram nobis, we employ the same standard of review applicable to an appeal from such a writ proceeding. We will not disturb the trial court's decision unless the trial court abused its discretion. (People v. Dubon (2001) 90 Cal.App.4th 944, 951.)
