P. v. Cook CA2/7
Eric Cook pleaded no contest to one count of attempted murder and one count of voluntary manslaughter and admitted certain sentencing enhancements. In accordance with his plea agreement, Cook was sentenced to an aggregate state prison term of 27 years four months. On appeal Cook argues the court erred by failing to apply the one-third limit for a consecutive subordinate term to the sentence imposed for a firearm enhancement. Cook also requests this court correct errors that appear in the minutes of the July 28, 2017 sentencing hearing and the abstract of judgment. We agree that errors in the minute order and abstract of judgment must be corrected. However, because Cook pleaded no contest and failed to obtain a certificate of probable cause, the remainder of his appeal must be dismissed as inoperative.
