P. v. Alvarez-Quintero
This is an appeal from an order denying a motion to vacate the judgment pursuant to Penal Code section 1016.5 (hereafter, section 1016.5). We conclude that principles of stare decisis favor adherence to the rule established by this court in People v. Ramirez (1999) 71 Cal.App.4th 519, 522, permitting the section 1016.5 advisement to be given in writing prior to acceptance of a guilty or no contest plea, and that defendant and appellant Armando Alvarez-Quintero has not presented sufficient reasons for changing that rule. Accordingly, we affirm the order on defendant’s section 1016.5 motion.
