People v. Summey CA3

DISCUSSION

Defendant contends his pleas were not knowing and voluntary due to coercion and the withholding and destruction of exculpatory evidence. We cannot address these contentions because defendant has not obtained a certificate of probable cause. Under Penal Code section 1237.5, “[a] defendant must obtain a certificate of probable cause in order to appeal from the denial of a motion to withdraw a guilty plea.” (People v. Johnson, supra, 47 Cal.4th at p. 679.) And having examined the entire record, we find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.
