P. v. Finley CA5
Chasee Rae Finley pleaded guilty to two counts of stalking (Pen. Code , § 646.9), one count of criminal threats (§ 422), and one count of annoying telephone calls (§ 653m, subd. (a)). She was sentenced to three years and four months in state prison. Respondent contends Finley’s appeal should be barred because she failed to obtain a certificate of probable cause as required by section 1237.5. We conclude Finley was not required to obtain a certificate of probable cause because the appeal does not attack the validity of the plea. Finley contends her sentence for criminal threats must be stayed pursuant to section 654 because it was incident to the same objective as the stalking conviction for the same victim. We conclude Finley was properly sentenced and affirm.
