The cases below were cited by California courts in a sentence that names this issue.

People v. Gonzalezgreen2 sentences2023(Id. at pp. 1223–1224; Gonzalez, supra, 31 Cal.4th at p. 752 .) Due to the immediate recess, the Dorsey court held that “the prosecutor had no opportunity, meaningful or otherwise, to object.” (Dorsey, at p. 1224; Gonzalez, at p. 752.) Here, unlike Dorsey, the record shows that the trial court, after pronouncing the sentence and stating its reasons, therefore, did not immediately declare a recess without hearing from the parties. 2023(Id. at pp. 1223–1224; Gonzalez, supra, 31 Cal.4th at p. 752 .) Due to the immediate recess, the Dorsey court held that “the prosecutor had no opportunity, meaningful or otherwise, to object.” (Dorsey, at p. 1224; Gonzalez, at p. 752.) Here, unlike Dorsey, the record shows that the trial court, after pronouncing the sentence and stating its reasons, therefore, did not immediately declare a recess without hearing from the parties. | 3 | 4 |
People v. Superior Court (Dorsey)green2 sentences2023(Cf., People v. Superior Court (Dorsey) (1996) 50 Cal.App.4th 1216, 1224 [trial court placed the defendant on probation in the interest of justice even though he was presumptively ineligible and then immediately declared a recess without hearing from either party did not provide a meaningful opportunity to object].) In any event, we see no prejudicial error resulting from the trial court’s two brief passing references to violence during the sentencing hearing, made in the context of orally reviewing the contents of the probation report with the parties. 2020(People v. Gonzalez (2003) 31 Cal.4th 745, 752 (Gonzalez).) For example, in People v. Superior Court (Dorsey) (1996) 50 Cal.App.4th 1216 , the trial court placed the defendant on probation and “immediately declared a recess without hearing from either party.” ( Gonzalez, supra, at p. 752 , citing Dorsey, supra, at p. 1224 .) The defendant was presumptively ineligible for probation, but “the prosecutor had no opportunity, meaningful or otherwise, to object.” ( Dorsey, supra, at p. 1224 .) Therefore, an appeal of the sentence was permissible despite the lack of any objections. | 1 | 4 |
People v. Scottgreen1 sentence2016(Id. at pp. 1223- 1224; see People v. Gonzalez (2003) 31 Cal.4th 745, 752 (Gonzalez).) Because of the 21 immediate recess, the Dorsey court held that "the prosecutor had no opportunity, meaningful or otherwise, to object." (Dorsey, at p. 1224; see Gonzalez, at p. 752.) Here, Flores forfeited his claim that the court abused its sentencing discretion in denying probation and imposing the upper prison term of three years because he is complaining on appeal that the court misweighed the various mitigating and aggravating factors, he had a meaningful opportunity to object to the court's discretiona | 1 | 1 |

People v. Zuniga
green
1 sentence2013"Nothing in the record suggests that [Drury] or defense counsel was precluded from objecting to the sentence or was in any way denied a meaningful opportunity to state his case for an alternative sentence or question the court's reasons for a prison sentence." (People v. Zuniga (1996) 46 Cal.App.4th 81, 84 .) Thus, these circumstances are unlike those in People v. Superior Court (Dorsey) (1996) 50 Cal.App.4th 1216 , relied upon by Drury, where the trial court announced its sentencing decision and immediately declared a recess without hearing from either party. | 1 | 2013–2013 |
