California Court of Appeal

Disagreed with a recent decision from another California Court of Appeal concerning waivers of appeal rights. Held that where a criminal defendant negotiates a plea for a stipulated sentence and waives the right to appeal the sentence, the defendant may not take advantage of a favorable sentencing law enacted thereafter (which may otherwise apply retroactively under ordinary circumstances). Dismissed the appeal here.
