P. v. Hall
Defendant Ashley Aimee Hall pleaded no contest to felony child abandonment. (Pen. Code, § 271a.)[1] After substituting retained counsel for her appointed counsel, defendant filed a motion to withdraw her plea, which was denied. Pursuant to the plea agreement, the trial court placed defendant on five years’ probation with 90 days in county jail and suspended the jail term on the condition that she speak to five community organizations about her experience. Within one to two years, the trial court would consider reducing the offense to a misdemeanor pursuant to section 17, subdivision (b).
On appeal, defendant contends it was an abuse of discretion to deny her motion to withdraw the plea, and she received ineffective assistance of counsel in the entry of her plea. We affirm.
