The following excerpt is from Townsel v. Superior Court, 20 Cal.4th 1084, 86 Cal.Rptr.2d 602, 979 P.2d 963 (Cal. 1999):
The Attorney General argues that, despite the exclusive nature of our appellate jurisdiction, the trial court can enter any order that is "collateral or supplemental to the questions involved on the appeal" (People v. Schulz (1992) 5 Cal.App.4th 563, 570, 7 Cal.Rptr.2d 269), as long as it is "connected with the criminal proceeding before [the trial court]." To the extent he is arguing the trial court had jurisdiction to enter an order regarding "other matter[s] embraced in the action and not affected by the judgment," as that phrase is used in section 916(a), we agree. Assuming the no-contact order is otherwise supportable, we fail to see how that order could interfere with this court's appellate jurisdiction.
