PEOPLE v. MCEWAN
Trial court had no jurisdiction to consider appeal by defendant who pled no contest where no certificate of probable cause was obtained, notice of appeal attacked validity of plea and did not state intent to appeal on any grounds not requiring a certificate of probable cause, and defendant's motion to construe appeal as addressing noncertificate grounds was not supported by a declaration from defendant, trial counsel, or counsel for defendant on appeal.
