P. v. Nguyen CA1/5
In October 2015, Nguyen was convicted of transporting marijuana (Health & Saf. Code, former § 11360, subd. (a)), driving with a suspended license (Veh. Code, § 14601.1, subd. (a)), and possession of more than 28.5 grams of marijuana (Health & Saf. Code, former § 11357, subd. (c)). The trial court suspended imposition of sentence, placed Nguyen on informal probation for three years, and ordered Nguyen to appear on April 5, 2016, for a progress report before Department 519 of the Alameda County Superior Court. Trial court minutes submitted by the People show that date was later vacated and, because the trial judge was transitioning to another assignment, the progress report hearing was continued to April 6, 2016, in Department 106. Nguyen filed a timely notice of appeal, but failed to appear on April 6, 2016. The April 6, 2016 minutes also show Nguyen’s probation was revoked and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.
