P. v. Hood
Courtney Jean Hood[1] pleaded no contest to three counts of using personal identifying information of another (Pen. Code,[2] § 530.5, subd. (a)) and one count each of burglary (§ 459), grand theft (§ 484g, subd. (a)), acquiring access cards of four or more people (§ 484e, subd. (b)), possessing forged items (§ 475, subd. (a)), possessing completed paper (§ 475, subd. (c)), and receiving stolen property (§ 496, subd. (a)). The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and granted Hood probation, conditioned upon her serving 365 days in custody.
Hood appeals, contending we must reverse her conviction and allow her to withdraw her guilty plea because the trial court erroneously denied her pretrial motion to suppress the evidence against her. She additionally requests we independently review the
the transcript of an in camera proceeding conducted by the trial court under Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531 (Pitchess)[3] to determine whether the trial court erred in finding certain police officers' personnel records contained no discoverable information.
We conclude the trial court did not err in denying Hood's suppression motion. In addition, we have reviewed the transcript of the Pitchess proceeding and conclude the trial court did not err in finding the officers' personnel records contained no discoverable information. We, therefore, affirm the judgment.
