SECOND APPELLATE
DISTRICT

 

DIVISION SIX

 

 
>

THE PEOPLE,       Plaintiff and Respondent,   v.   MICHAEL BRET VANHEUVER,       Defendant and Appellant.

2d Crim. No. B248971 (Super. Ct. No. F473603) (San Luis Obispo County)

 

                        Michael Bret Vanheuver killed
his mother, Lisa Vanheuver, by strangulation. 
He then called the police.  Officers
arrived at the house, took him in to custody and he confessed almost
immediately.  Vanheuver also confessed to
his aunt when she visited him in jail.  He
pled no contest to second degree murder
(Pen. Code, § 187), was sentenced to state prison for a term of 15  years to life and now appeals. 

                        We appointed href="http://www.mcmillanlaw.com/">counsel to represent appellant in this
appeal.  After counsel's examination of
the record, he filed an opening brief raising no issues.  On August
30, 2103, we advised appellant that he had 30 days in which to
personally submit any contentions that he wished to raise on appeal.  We have received no supplemental brief from
appellant. 

                        We have conducted an href="http://www.fearnotlaw.com/">independent review of the record and are
satisfied appellant's attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and
that no arguable issues exist.  (>People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436,
441; People v. Kelley (2006) 40
Cla.4th 106, 126.)

                        The judgment is
affirmed.

                        NOT TO BE PUBLISHED.
