P. v. Alonso
Nazario Alonso appeals from the denial of his "nonstatutory" motion to withdraw his 2004 guilty plea to a violation of Health and Safety Code section 11358. His motion, and this appeal lumped together a request for nonstatutory relief, habeas corpus and a request for relief by writ of coram nobis. We will dismiss the appeal because Alonso has failed to obtain a certificate of probable cause in the trial court as required by Penal Code[1] section 1237.5. We also find we do not have jurisdiction to review the denial of a writ of habeas corpus in the trial court since such denial may only be reviewed by filing an original petition in this court, and not by way of appeal. Even if we were inclined to treat the appeal as a petition for writ of habeas corpus, which we are not inclined to do, we would still dismiss the petition because Alonso is not "in custody" in this case. Finally, there is no basis in the record for coram nobis relief.
