California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Pearson, 120 Cal.App.3d 782, 175 Cal.Rptr. 43 (Cal. App. 1981):
Respondent asserts that appellant's failure to procure a probable cause certificate (Pen.Code, 1237.5) precludes this contention, since appellant now seeks to challenge the guilty plea proceedings. (People v. Kaanehe (1977) 19 Cal.3d 1, 8, 136 Cal.Rptr. 409, 559 P.2d 1028.)
