P. v. Lord
Bradley Steven Lord pleaded guilty to using his estranged wife's identifying information for the purpose of forgery and theft (count 4), and forging her name on a deed of trust (count 10). The trial court placed Lord on formal probation for three years subject to conditions set forth in the probation report. It also assessed restitution, imposed various fees and fines, and ordered Lord to serve 50 days of public service.
On appeal, Lord contends that the trial court violated his due process rights by imposing "significant additional conditions and fines to which [he] had not agreed and for which the court made no oral pronouncement in [his] presence." He argues that we are required to vacate the order and remand the cause to allow him to withdraw his guilty pleas. As Court explain, Lord's failure to obtain a certificate of probable cause bars our consideration of any challenge to the validity of the plea agreement, and he forfeited his challenge to the fines and search waiver condition by failing to object at sentencing. Accordingly, Court affirm the order.
