California Court of Appeal

Defendant's appeal from his conviction for active participation in a criminal street gang, entered pursuant to a no contest plea, is dismissed, where: 1) defendant’s challenge to the factual basis for the no contest plea is properly viewed as a challenge to the validity of the plea itself; and 2) since defendant failed to obtain a certificate of probable cause in compliance with Penal Code section 1237.5, his challenge is barred.
