IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION TWO

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent, E084611 v. (Super.Ct.No. FWV013260)

RAYMOND LEON LONG, JR., OPINION Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from the Superior Court of San Bernardino County. Ingrid Adamson Uhler, Judge. Dismissed.

Raymond Long, Jr., in pro. per.; Richard L. Fitzer, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

No appearance by Plaintiff and Respondent.

1 On the court’s own motion, the appeal filed in the superior court on September 12, 2024, from the trial court’s denial of defendant’s postjudgment motion for resentencing under Penal Code1 section 1172.1 is DISMISSED because it does not affect defendant’s substantial rights. (§ 1237, subd. (b).) The trial court lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate defendant’s motion for resentencing. (§ 1172.1, subd. (c) [“A defendant is not entitled to file a petition seeking relief from the court under this section.”].) Since the court lacked jurisdiction when it denied defendant’s resentencing motion, denial of the motion could not have affected his substantial rights. (People v. Hodge (2024) 107 Cal.App.5th 985, 999 (Hodge) [“a trial court’s order declining to exercise its discretion under section 1172.1 to recall a defendant’s sentence on its own motion after receiving the defendant’s unauthorized request for such relief does not affect the defendant’s substantial rights under section 1237, subdivision (b)”]; see also, People v. Chlad (1992) 6 Cal.App.4th 1719, 1725-1726 (Chlad).) Accordingly, the order denying defendant's motion for resentencing is not an appealable order, and the appeal must be dismissed. (Hodge, supra, 107 Cal.App.5th at p. 991;

Chlad, supra, 6 Cal.App.4th at p. 1725; see also, People v. Fuimaono (2019) 32 Cal.App.5th 132, 135.)
