California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Furness, H041252 (Cal. App. 2016):

Two types of issues may be raised in an appeal from a guilty or no contest plea without a certificate of probable cause: (1) "[t]he denial of a motion to suppress evidence under Penal Code section 1538.5," and (2) "[g]rounds that arose after entry of the plea and do not affect the plea's validity." (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.304(b)(4)(A), (B); see People v. Mashburn (2013) 222 Cal.App.4th 937, 941-942 (Mashburn).)
