THE PEOPLE,
Plaintiff and Respondent,
v.
FRANK EDWARD EDMONDS,
Defendant and Appellant.
B244375
(Los Angeles
County
Super. Ct.
No. YA084117)
APPEAL from
a judgment of the Superior Court
of href="http://www.adrservices.org/neutrals/frederick-mandabach.php">Los Angeles
County, Steven R. Van Sicklen, Judge. Dismissed.
David L.
Polsky, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
No
appearance on behalf of Plaintiff and Respondent.
On September 26,
2012, defendant, Frank Edward Edmonds, pled nolo contendere to a
felony violation of Penal Code section 69.
Defendant, who has filed a notice of appeal, failed to secure a probable
cause certificate. We have a duty to
raise issues concerning our jurisdiction on our own motion. (Jennings v. Marralle (1994) 8 Cal.4th
121, 126; Olson v. Cory (1983) 35 Cal.3d 390, 398.) We issued an order to show cause re possible
dismissal and placed the matter on calendar.
Defendant
has failed to fully and timely comply with both Penal Code section 1237.5 and
California Rules of Court, rule 8.304(b).
(In re Chavez (2003) 30 Cal.4th 643, 651; People v. Mendez
(1999) 19 Cal.4th 1084, 1099; People v.
Way (2003) 113 Cal.App.4th 733, 736.)
Without a probable cause certificate,
defendant cannot appeal. (People v.
Kaanehe (1977) 19 Cal.3d 1, 8; People v. Ribero (1971) 4 Cal.3d 55,
61; People v. West (1970) 3 Cal.3d 595, 600-601; People v. Ward
(1967) 66 Cal.2d 571, 574-576.)
Moreover, the notice of appeal fails to comply with California Rules of
Court, rule 8.304(b)(4)(B) in that it does not state defendant is appealing
from matters occurring after the plea which does not affect its validity. (People v. Mendez, supra, 19
Cal.4th at p. 1096; see People v. Fulton
(2009) 179 Cal.App.4th 1230, 1235-1236, disapproved on another ground in >People v. Maultsby (2012) 53 Cal.4th
296, 298.)
Defendant
argues that he wishes to challenge the denial of a peace officer personnel
records motion. Such an order would not
be appealable after defendant pled nolo contendere. (See People
v. Mazurette (2001) 24 Cal.4th 789, 792; People v.
DeVaughn (1977) 18
Cal.3d 889, 896, People v. Collins
(2004) 115 Cal.App.4th 137, 148; compare People
v. Moore (2003) 105 Cal.App.4th 94, 99-100.) Even if the pre-plea peace officer personnel
records order would be appealable, no probable cause certificate has been
secured and that ends the matter.
Insofar as defendant attempts, on direct appeal, that we consider his
declaration which was not before the trial court, we decline to do so. (In re
Zeth S. (2003) 31 Cal.4th 396, 405; People
v. Merriam (1967) 66 Cal.2d 390, 396, overruled by People v. Rincon-Pineda (1975) 14 Cal.3d 864, 882.) If defendant wishes to raise these issues by
means of a habeas corpus petition where we can consider the additional
evidence, he remains free to do so.
Finally, we judicially notice the July 12, 2012 transcript attached to defendant’s papers
filed in response to our order to show cause.
