P. v. Perez CA5
On August 13, 2015, in case No. F15902655, appellant Mariano Ruiz Perez pled no contest to receiving a stolen vehicle (Pen Code, § 496d, subd. (a)/count 1) and felony receiving stolen property (§ 496, subd. (a)/count 2) and admitted five prior prison term enhancements (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). In case No. F15902931, Perez pled no contest to receiving a stolen vehicle (count 1) and unlawfully taking or driving a vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)/count 2) and he admitted five prior prison term enhancements. Perez also admitted violating the terms of his postrelease community supervision (PRCS) in two unrelated cases.
On appeal, Perez contends his plea must be vacated because the trial court’s improper plea negotiations that promised leniency in exchange for his plea rendered the plea involuntary. We conclude this issue is not cognizable and dismiss Perez’s appeal.
