Appellant was convicted of grand theft. He appealed, and the conviction was affirmed.

v.
Causey
(1963)
On December 11, 1963, appellant filed a notice of a new motion, seeking similar relief, in which, for the first time, he requested that the court оrder a new and current probation report. Although the record shows no action on this application, appellant’s counsel states in his brief (and the statement is not denied) that the court allowed the application to be filed but orally and summarily denied it in toto.
On December 12, 1963, appellant filed a notice of appeal from the order of Dеcember 3, 1963.
On January 27, 1964, appellant presented to the trial court a third, written, motion for an order staying execution. The motion was denied. On the same day, appellant filed a writtеn application which renewed his request filed on December 11, 1963. No action seems ever to have been taken on this application. However, on January 28, 1964, appеllant noticed an appeal from the “ (1) order denying defendant’s application to suspend execution of judgment and sentence, (2) order denying defendant’s applicatiоn for probation, (3) order refusing to refer the matter of defendant’s application for *578 probation to the probation officer for a current investigation and report before denying defendant’s application for probation, (4) order denying defendant’s application for stay of execution of judgment and sentence and commitment, in the abоve entitled action, each made and entered on or about January 27, 1964 by the above entitled court, and from the whole of each of said orders.” The clerk refused to file this notice, on the ground that the orders involved were not appealable; on February 25, 1964, we ordered the notice filed, consolidated the two appeals, and reserved the issue of appealability for consideration at this time. By orders made in connection with the pending appeals, execution of appellant’s sentence remains stаyed until their final determination. 2
The attempted appeal from the “orders” of January 27, 1964, must be dismissed. In the first place, the filing on December 12th of the notice of appeal from the order of December 3, 1963, divested the trial court of all jurisdiction over the case except as to applications for bail and for a stay of execution; and an ordеr denying a stay of execution is not appealable, the remedy being by a de novo application to the appellate court. In the second place, as рointed out above, apart from an order denying a further stay of execution, the record shows no other order made on January 27th; there being no orders, there was nothing from which to appeal.
However, we regard the order made on December 3, 1963, as appealable. Respondent argues (1) that an order denying probation is not appealable and (2) that, if the motion be regarded as one to vacate the judgment of conviction, the sole remedy was by application to this court pursuant to section 1265 of the Pеnal Code. While the written notice of motion is ambiguous, it is clear from the discussion between court and counsel that appellant did not seek to set aside his conviction; it follows that the application was not one in the nature of coram nobis and that we need not consider the rules governing such applications. What appellant sought, clearly, wаs an order suspending his prison sentence and admitting him to probation. While it is true that an order denying probation is not appealable on its merits, an appeal does lie, as from an order “made after judgment,
*579
affecting the substantial rights of the party,” (Pen. Code, § 1237) where the denial is for lack of jurisdiction

v.
Banks
(1959)
Respondent next argues that there is no right to apply for probation after a judgment and sentence have been affirmed on appеal. The law is well settled to the contrary. As long as the execution of the sentence has not begun, the trial court retains jurisdiction over the defendant and has power to recеive and act on an application for probation, even after an affirmance on appeal.

v.
Banks, supra
(1959)
Whenever a trial cоurt does entertain an application for probation, it must then proceed to consider it in compliance with the procedural requirements imposed by section 1203 of thе Penal Code. Appellant contends that the proceedings herein did not so comply by reason of the fact that the court had not ordered, received or considerеd a current probation report but, instead, acted on the original report, by then some two and one-half years old.
Although, as we have noted above, appellant did not ask for a new and current probation report in connection with the December 3, 1963 proceedings, that omission was called to the attention of the court on December 11th, рrior to the appeal, and while the court still retained jurisdiction over him. Further, the requirement that an application for probation be considered in the light of a current probation report is one imposed by statute and is mandatory on the trial court.

v.
Rojas, supra
(1962)
The purported appeal from the orders of January 27, 1964, is dismissed; the order of December 3,1963, is reversed with directions that the court order and consider a current probation report and also consider such other information as appellant may desire to present and the court shall deem relevant. The execution of the sentence of imprisonment heretofore imposed is stayed until completion of proceedings in the trial court.
Burke, P. J., and Jefferson, J., concurred.
Notes
We see no error in this ruling. As appellant eorreetly states, the recording was not offered in an attempt to avoid the conviction, but to show that he was not quite as bad a person as the triаl record and the original probation report made him out to be. However, the record shows that the trial court was aware of the substance of the tape recording, did consider it in making its ruling, but did not regard it as sufficient to justify a grant of probation. Appellant was not entitled to anything more with reference to this item.
On June 19, 1964, "because of the questions raised as to appealability of the orders herein involved, appellant sought a writ of mandate to review them. The petition was denied, without comment, on June 22, 1964. Because of this summary denial, it cannot be said whether action was on the merits or in the exercise of discretion. The denial, thus, was not an adjudication of any of the issues herein raised and decided.
