P. v. Macoy
On May 20, 2007, defendant, Ray Bryan Macoy, pled no contest to the crime of voluntary manslaughter and admitted the truth of a special allegation. His post-plea motion to reduce his sentence was denied. We noted defendant has failed to secure a probable cause certificate. Court 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.) As a result, Court issued an order to show cause concerning possible dismissal of the appeal and permitted the parties to orally argue the dismissal issue.
