Description
Defendant was charged with two counts of grand theft, each relating to a separate transaction with a different person: (1) $6,000 from E. Y. Masi and (2) $4,000 from Thomas W. Patterson. He pleaded not guilty to both counts and waived a trial by jury. The case was submitted upon the testimony taken at the preliminary hearing and additional evidence introduced by both parties. The court found defendant guilty on both counts, and granted leave to file an application for probation, upon the hearing of which the proceedings were suspended and defendant was placed on probation for five years. Defendant made a motion for a new trial, which was denied. He has appealed from the order denying his motion for a new trial and has purportedly appealed from an alleged "judgment of sentence and conviction." Since the court did not pronounce judgment but suspended proceedings and granted probation, the purported appeal from the judgment will be dismissed. (People v. Guerrero, 22 Cal. 2d 183, 184 [137 P.2d 21].) There remains for consideration only the appeal from the court's order denying defendant's motion for a new trial. (Pen. Code, § 1237.)
