P. v. Moreno CA4/1
Defendant Jack Moreno pled no contest to four felony counts based on his sexual activities with a minor under the age of 14. Relying on a verbal misstatement by the trial judge in referencing the correct statutory subdivision during the plea colloquy, Moreno now argues that he actually pled to a misdemeanor in count 3. But as we read the record, despite the judge's misstatement Moreno was reasonably aware at all times that he was pleading to a felony in count 3. Under these circumstances, his felony conviction does not violate due process and we affirm the judgment.
