The following excerpt is from People v. Orr, H041278 (Cal. App. 2015):
At the outset, we note that the People raise the issue of forfeiture. That is, appellant's contention on appeal that the trial court improperly found him ineligible for resentencing on his conviction for receiving stolen property is forfeited because appellant never asked the trial court to resentence him based on that conviction. Citing People v. Partida (2005) 37 Cal.4th 428, 435, the People contend that this issue is forfeited under the general rule that "[a party cannot argue the court erred in failing to conduct an analysis it was not asked to conduct."
