When will the court consider a defendant's application for a certificate of probable cause?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Lopez, G048835 (Cal. App. 2015):
The trial court denied defendant's request for a certificate of probable cause. Nevertheless, in his appeal, defendant asks us to examine the Pitchess (Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 cal.3d 531) records to determine if the trial court erred in denying discovery. In light of the guilty plea and the failure to obtain a certificate of probable cause, we cannot consider this issue on appeal.
