Can a defendant appeal from a judgment entered on a guilty plea?

Cole properly appeals only those issues arising after his plea. Absent a certificate of probable cause, an appeal by a defendant from a judgment entered on a guilty plea may only raise issues falling within two "noncertificate" categories, namely, "issues relating to the validity of a search and seizure . . . and issues regarding proceedings held subsequent to the plea for the purpose of determining the degree of the crime and the penalty to be imposed. [Citations.]" (People v. Buttram (2003) 30 Cal.4th 773, 780, 776.) There are no such issues that require further briefing.

The judgment is affirmed.
