Opinion


THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. LISINIO A. CASTELLANOS, Defendant and Appellant. B208194 California Court of Appeal, Second District, Fifth Division October 9, 2008

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE OFFICIAL REPORTS

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County No. BA183701, Robert Perry, Judge.

Brett Harding Duxbury, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

No appearance on behalf of Plaintiff and Respondent.

TURNER, P. J.

Defendant, Lisinio A. Castellanos, purports to appeal from a March 3, 2008 post-judgment order denying his sentence modification motion. In his post-judgment motion, defendant argued the trial court abused its discretion when it imposed a victim restitution order (Pen. Code, § 1202.4) in an amount that exceeded his ability to pay. We recognized that the post-judgment order might not be appealable. We have a duty to raise issues concerning our jurisdiction on our own motion. (Jennings v. Marralle (1994) 8 Cal.4th 121, 126-127; Olson v. Cory (1983) 35 Cal.3d 390, 398.) We issued an order to show cause concerning possible dismissal of this appeal and set the matter for oral argument. The order denying defendant’s motion to modify the July 26, 1999 sentence insofar as it imposed restitution is not, under the facts of this case, appealable. (People v. Cantrell (1961) 197 Cal.App.2d 40, 43; People v. Bowles (1933) 135 Cal.App. 514, 516; see People v. Thomas (1959) 52 Cal.2d 521, 527.)

The appeal is dismissed.

We concur: ARMSTRONG, J. MOSK, J.
