P. v. Stidham
Defendant was charged by felony complaint filed by the San Bernardino County District Attorney with perjury by false application for aid (Pen. Code, 118, count 1) and obtaining aid by misrepresentation (Welf. & Inst. Code, 10980, subd. (c)(2), count 2). On May 9, 2008, and prior to formal sentencing, defendant, represented by new counsel, moved to withdraw her plea; the motion was denied. Thereafter, defendants request to be placed on a formal grant of probation was granted and the terms and conditions included both local jail time and restitution to the victim. Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal challenging the sentence or other matters not affecting the validity of the plea.
