IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION FIVE
THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. DANIEL CLASSON, Defendant and Appellant. | B198804 (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. SA057318) |
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Cynthia Rayvis, Judge. Dismissed.
Kathleen M. Redmond, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
Edmund G. Brown, Jr., Attorney General, Dane R. Gillette, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Pamela C. Hamanaka, Senior Assistant Attorney General, Steven D. Matthews and Paul M. Roadarmel Jr., Deputy Attorneys General, for Plaintiff and Respondent.
Defendant, Daniel Classon, appeals following his nolo contendere plea for failing to register as a sex offender. (Pen. Code, 290, subd. (b).) On February 25, 2008, a no bail bench warrant was issued for defendants arrest who was placed on probation. We issued an order to show cause as to whether defendants appeal should be dismissed because of his fugitive status. Because the uncontradicted evidence demonstrates defendant is currently a fugitive, his appeal should be dismissed. (People v. Redinger (1880) 55 Cal. 290, 299; People v. Kang (2003) 107 Cal.App.4th 43, 52; People v. Buffalo (1975) 49 Cal.App.3d 838, 839.) We need not address other issues concerning our authority to address the merits of defendants challenge to the validity of his nolo contendere plea. (In re Chavez (2003) 30 Cal.4th 643, 649; People v. Hoffard (1995) 10 Cal.4th 1170, 1177-1178.)
The appeal is dismissed.
