California Court of Appeal

On a collateral attack of a plea to felony possession of diazepam and conviction, brought after the appellant had served the full term of his probation, the judgment of conviction is affirmed, where: 1) there was error in charging and accepting the plea to diazepam possession as a felony, when by statute it is at most a misdemeanor; but 2) for reasons of public policy, the appellant was estopped from having his plea vacated and his conviction modified by his consent to the plea agreement.
