Opinion
I. INTRODUCTION
Defendant Christina Moen appeals from her conviction of child abuse (Pen.
Code,1 § 273d, subd. (a)) following the entry of her plea of guilty. Defendant states the
issues on appeal under a number of headings; however, most are variations on her central
argument that the documents relied on to establish the factual basis for her plea showed
that she was innocent of the crime. We reject that argument in all its variations.
Defendant further contends: (1) the hearing on her Marsden2 motion was inadequate to
address her concerns about her lawyer; (2) the trial court should have conducted a second
Marsden hearing when she requested to withdraw her plea; (3) the trial court erred in
inquiring of her attorney whether grounds existed for her to withdraw her plea; (4) her
request to withdraw her plea was not a violation of the plea agreement; (5) the imposition
of additional custody time violated section 1192.7 and the plea agreement; and (6) the
trial court should have recused itself from her request to withdraw her plea. We find no
merit in those contentions, and we affirm.
