Jennings v. Arata

The defendants appeal from judgments of conviction based upon jury verdicts finding them both guilty of two counts of grand theft and one count of conspiracy to commit grand theft, and finding defendant Daniels guilty of two counts of forgery, that charge having been dismissed as to defendant OMalley. Each defendant was also found to have suffered one prior conviction of a felony. In addition to appealing from the judgments of conviction, defendants appeal from the orders denying their motions for a new trial, and also attempt to appeal from the orders denying their motions in arrest of judgment. The orders denying the motion in arrest of judgment are not appealable. (Pen. Code, § 1237; People v. Martin, 188 Cal. 281 [205 P. 121, 21 A.L.R. 1399]; People v. Battilana, 52 Cal. App. 2d 685 [126 P.2d 923]; People v. Dallas, 42 Cal. App. 2d 596 [109 P.2d 409].) The appeals therefrom should be dismissed.
