P. v. Hopkins CA1/5
Klark Deziray Hopkins pleaded no contest to the charge of driving in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property while fleeing from a pursuing police officer. (Veh. Code, § 2800.2.) The court placed Hopkins on three years of probation. Hopkins appeals. She challenges a probation condition and the court’s imposition of a restitution fine. However, as part of her plea bargain, Hopkins waived her right to appeal. Her appeal challenges the breadth of her waiver and therefore the validity of her plea. As a result, it requires a certificate of probable cause. (Pen. Code, § 1237.5.) Hopkins did not obtain one, so we dismiss her appeal without reaching the merits of her contentions.
