P. v. Newman
After serving a portion of a one-year sentence imposed pursuant to a plea of guilty or no contest to exhibiting harmful matter to a minor in violation of Penal Code section 313.1, subdivision (a), a misdemeanor, defendant Gene Louis Newman filed three postconviction motions (two to modify his sentence and one to retract his plea), all of which were denied by the trial court. Defendant appeals the denial of those motions as error, and further contends the trial court failed to continue prosecution of the case in a timely manner following this courts issuance of a remittitur. Because the trial court lacked jurisdiction over the subject matter of defendants motions, Court dismiss the appeal.
