Can a defendant appeal for a certificate of probable cause for a motion of appeal against a finding of not guilty of a charge brought after pleading guilty?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Houston, B293022 (Cal. App. 2019):
appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. (People v. Mendez (1999) 19 Cal.4th 1084, 1096.) On the other hand, if the defendant only raises issues that occur after the plea and do not affect its validity, we may reach the merits of his appeal without a certificate of probable cause. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.304(b)(4)(B).)
