The following excerpt is from People v. Lopez, D068727 (Cal. App. 2015):
3. Lopez did not object to the trial court's instructions. However, "to the extent he is claiming that the instruction was erroneous (and not merely that the court should have clarified certain terms within it), his claims are reviewable under section 1259." (People v. Sattiewhite (2014) 59 Cal.4th 446, 475; see People v. Hudson (2006) 38 Cal.4th 1002, 1011-1012; Pen. Code, 1259.)
