P. v. Davis
Defendant and appellant Maurice Levale Davis appeals from a judgment of conviction following his entry of a plea of nolo contendere on charges of lewd and lascivious acts upon a child under the age of 14. He entered his plea after the trial court ruled that evidence of a number of prior uncharged sexual offenses by Davis were admissible pursuant to Evidence Code section 1108 (section 1108). He asserts on appeal that the admission of such evidence was erroneous and violated his constitutional rights. We hold that Davis’ appeal is not cognizable by virtue of his plea of nolo contendere, and thus we dismiss it.
