_______________________________
Pursuant to a plea agreement with the prosecution, defendant and appellant Randall Scott Holden entered no contest pleas to two counts of violating Penal Code section 288, subdivision (a), and one count of violating Penal Code section 286, subdivision (j). He was sentenced to the agreed upon term of 12 years in state prison.
Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal and obtained a certificate of probable cause from the trial court. This court appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. On September 5, 2008, appointed counsel filed a brief raising no issues pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Counsel requested that this court make an independent review of the record for arguable appellate issues.
Defendant was notified by letter dated September 5, 2008, that he was permitted to file a letter brief with this court within thirty days concerning any arguments he wished to be considered on appeal. No brief has been filed by defendant.
This court has completed its independent review of the record. Defendant was lawfully held to answer on a felony complaint alleging seven counts of sexual offenses against his daughters. His no contest pleas were received in accordance with applicable constitutional and statutory law. There are no arguable appellate issues.
The judgment is affirmed. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 283-284.)
