P.v. Rodriguez
On March 10, 2009, appellant, Jesse Alfredo Rodriquez, was charged in a criminal complaint with failure to register as a sex offender (Pen. Code, 290, subd. (b)). On April 14, 2009, the parties entered into a plea agreement. Appellant would plead no contest to the allegation in exchange for the mitigated prison term. Appellant executed a felony advisement of rights, waiver, and plea form (plea waiver form). In the plea waiver form, appellant acknowledged the terms of the plea agreement, the consequences of his plea, and his constitutional rights pursuant to Boykin/Tahl.[2] Appellant waived his constitutional rights in the form. The trial court confirmed that appellant had carefully read and understood the plea waiver form and had no questions concerning its contents. The court advised appellant of the consequences of his plea as well as his constitutional rights. Appellant admitted he had a qualifying conviction under section 290 for sexual assault in Arizona. Appellant further admitted he was in violation of his probation in an unrelated case and agreed to be sentenced at the change of plea hearing. Appellant pled no contest to the allegation.
