P. v. Ruiz
Appellant, Ray Ruiz, was charged in an information filed August 28, 2006, with receiving a stolen motor vehicle (Pen. Code, 496d, subd. (a), count one),[1]two counts of receiving stolen property ( 496, subd. (a), counts two & three), and felony vandalism ( 594, subd. (a) count four). Ruiz entered into a plea agreement wherein he would admit count one. In exchange for his plea, the remaining counts would be dismissed. Ruiz would receive consideration for probation and would receive a prison term of no more than three years. Ruiz executed a felony advisement, waiver of rights, and plea form that set forth the consequences of his plea.
Ruizs appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief which summarizes the pertinent facts, raises no issues, and requests this court to independently review the record. (Peoplev. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) The opening brief also includes the declaration of appellate counsel indicating that Ruiz was advised he could file his own brief with this court. By letter on June 22, 2007, we invited Ruiz to submit additional briefing. To date he has not done so.
The judgment is affirmed.
