P. v. Velez
Defendant, Juan Martinez Velez, purports to appeal from his February 1, 2012 post-judgment order denying his motion to set aside his nolo contendere plea. We noted that the post-judgment February 1, 2012 order may not be appealable. We then issued an order to show cause re: possible dismissal of the appeal. 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.) The post-judgment February 1, 2012 order is not be appealable. (People v. Totari (2002) 28 Cal.4th 876, 886; People v. Cantrell (1961) 197 Cal.App.2d 40, 43; People v. Bowles (1933) 135 Cal.App. 514, 516; see People v. Thomas (1959) 52 Cal.2d 521, 527; 6 Witkin & Epstein, Cal. Criminal Law (2011 Supp.) Criminal Appeals, § 55A, p. 80.)
