P. v. Cowper
After pleading no contest to one count of committing lewd acts on a child and one count of possession of child pornography (respectively, Pen. Code, §§ 288, subd. (a), and 311.11, subd. (a))[1], appellant was denied probation and, pursuant to a negotiated disposition, was sentenced to a total term of imprisonment of three years and eight months on the two counts. Per his brief to us, he appeals from that conviction pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. However, his actual appeal is from an order of the trial court denying his pre-plea motion to suppress evidence. Such an appeal is specifically authorized by section 1538.5, subdivision (m), and California Rules of Court, rule 8.304(b)(4)(A). We have reviewed the record and the law regarding appellant’s motion to suppress and affirm the trial court’s order.
