P. v. Carballo
Edubina Victoria Carballo pled guilty to six felonies and two misdemeanors after the trial court denied her Penal Code section 1538.5 motion to suppress evidence found in the vehicle she was driving just prior to her arrest. Most of the charges resulted from possession of the vehicle or from items discovered after the officers decided to impound the vehicle and were conducting an inventory of its contents. As a result of the plea, Carballo received a nine-year suspended sentence conditioned on her spending one year in jail and successfully completing felony probation.
The only contested issue on appeal is whether Carballo’s motion to suppress should have been granted. We affirm the judgment, finding no merit to the motion, but remand the matter to the trial court to permit it to correct the amended information to designate correctly the counts to which Carballo pled guilty.
