2024Regardless of how manifested or phrased, if a challenge to the sentence imposed is in substance a challenge to an integral part of the plea itself, a certificate of probable cause is required.” (People v. Cole (2001) 88 Cal.App.4th 850 , 867–868 (Cole).) The Cole court held “that when, as part of the plea agreement, the question of whether to impose the negotiated maximum sentence is left to the trial court’s discretion at an adversary hearing, section 1237.5 does not apply to an appellate claim that the trial court abused its discretion under … section 1385 in not striking prior convictions.”

Cole (2001) 88 Cal.App.4th 850, 871 ["[W]hen the question of 2 whether to impose the negotiated maximum is left to the court's discretion at an adversary hearing, an appeal challenging the court's exercise of that discretion is not, in substance, an attack on the validity of the plea"].) We also reject the People's assertion that appellant forfeited his claim by failing to raise it below.

While in this proceeding there is no allegation of any fraud on the part of the husband in the conduct of the divorce action, such as he knew that the defendant was incompetent, the fact that there was no fraudulent conduct makes no difference in that the principle of law involved is “. . . through no fault of his, the defendant was not permitted to participate in the proceeding.” (Olivera v.

1976It does not establish the fact of obscenity itself, or *627 there would be no need for the trial.’ (People v. Golden, supra.) In People v.

2016In Marcus , the use of an ex parte hearing to secure search warrants was only one of many problems with the Missouri procedure which culminated in the ruling that the appellants’ due process rights were violated. ( Marcus, supra, 367 U.S. at pp. 731-733.) Indeed, in a subsequent case in which Marcus was distinguished, the Supreme Court clarified that “[tjhis Court has never held, or even implied, that there is an absolute First or Fourteenth Amendment right to a prior adversary hearing applicable to all cases where allegedly obscene material is seized. [Citations.]” (Heller v. New York (1973)

1972The court observed that although there was some language in Aday v. Superior Court, supra, 55 Cal.2d 789 , supporting the state’s position, it was implicitly rejected by Marcus v. Search Warrant, supra, 367 U.S. 717 .

2025Instead, he “ ‘is asserting only that errors occurred in the subsequent adversary hearing[ ] conducted by the trial court for the purpose of determining . . . the penalty to be imposed.’ ” (People v.

2014Rather, his appellate claim is limited to "what punishment for failing to appear is authorized by law, and what punishment crosses the line and is unauthorized by law." We conclude Ruiz did not require a certificate of probable cause before filing this appeal because he " 'is not attempting to challenge the validity of his plea of guilty but is asserting only that errors occurred in the subsequent adversary hearing[] conducted by the trial court for the purpose of determining . . . the penalty to be imposed.'

DISPOSITION The appeal is dismissed. that defendants may challenge an unauthorized sentence on appeal even if they failed to object below is itself subject to an exception: Where the defendants have pleaded guilty in return for a specified sentence, appellate courts will not find error even though the trial court acted in excess of jurisdiction in reaching that figure, so long as the trial court did not lack fundamental jurisdiction.” (People v.
