P. v. Chung CA1/5
Vinh Q. Chung pleaded guilty to sodomy by acting in concert with force (Pen. Code, § 286, subd. (d)(1)), and to oral copulation by acting in concert with force (§ 288a, subd. (d)(1)). The trial court sentenced Chung to the agreed-upon term of 18 years in prison.
Chung appeals. He contends he was denied his constitutional right to a Vietnamese interpreter at the sentencing hearing. We dismiss Chung’s appeal because it can only be construed as a challenge to the validity of his plea, which required a certificate of probable cause. (§ 1237.5.)
