____________________

An information charged Angelina Santistevan with driving or taking a vehicle without consent (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a); count 1) and receiving stolen property (Pen. Code, § 496, subd. (a); count 2). On May 17, 2016, Santistevan entered into a conditional plea to count 1, and sentencing was continued for one year. Having failed to comply with the conditions of her plea, the trial court, on July 5, 2017, sentenced her to 16 months in jail on count 1 and to a concurrent 16 months on count 2.

Santistevan appealed, contending only that the sentence on count 2 should have been stayed under Penal Code section 654. We requested supplemental briefing, because our preliminary review of the record showed that at the May 17, 2016 hearing, Santistevan entered a plea as to count 1 only. According to the July 5, 2017 minute order, the court treated the plea agreement as an "open plea." The minute order incorrectly stated that Santistevan pleaded no contest to count 2. The July 5, 2017 reporter's transcript, however, shows that Santistevan did not enter a plea as to count 2. No plea having been taken and entered as to count 2, the sentence was void. (See People v. Roth (2017) 17 Cal.App.5th 694, 705, fn. 2.) Therefore, the sentence on count 2 must be vacated.

DISPOSITION

The sentence on count 2 is vacated. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.
