*1095PREMO, Acting P. J.
I respectfully dissent. The trial court herein rendered an invalid sentence. Rectifying this mistake does not affect defendant’s no contest plea. It does not impose a burden on judicial resources to correct the error, in my opinion.
The majority opinion, however, though understandably concerned about the statutory scheme of Penal Code section 1237.5, nonetheless perpetuate the mistake of the trial court by dismissing this appeal. The defendant is thus left to proceed by petition for writ of habeas corpus which will duplicate this entire appellate process.
I believe this case is amenable to the same analysis as People v. Flores* (CaLApp.).
Appellant’s petition for review by the Supreme Court was denied June 28, 1995.

Rehearing granted April 12, 1995. Opinion (H012232) filed May 22, 1995, not for publication.
