People v. Partlow

In People v. Partlow (1978) 84 Cal.App.3d 540, the court said: "Defendant's argument, predicated on Elliot, supra, . . . that the reversal of conviction is mandated because upon proper objection of the defendant, the jurisdiction of the superior court terminates and renders the subsequent proceeding null and void , is further negated by subsequent case law. . All hold that insufficiency of evidence before the grand jury or at the preliminary examination is jurisdictional in the special procedural sense that the ruling of the trial court may be reviewed by writ of prohibition under section 999a of the Penal Code, but the defect is not jurisdictional in the fundamental sense because it is subject to waiver."
