P. v. Barrera
Appellant, Gerardo Barrera, was charged by criminal complaint filed August 8, 2006,[1]with nine counts of second degree robbery (Pen. Code, 211, 212, subd. (c)),[2]two counts of attempted second degree robbery ( 211, 212, subd. (c), 664), one count of assault with a deadly weapon or by means of force likely to great bodily injury ( 245, subd. (a)(1)), and one count of battery with serious bodily injury ( 243, subd. (d)). Pursuant to a plea agreement, on September 27, the court granted the prosecutions motions to amend the complaint, and appellant pled no contest to three counts of grand theft from a person ( 487, subd. (c); counts 2, 4, 5) and individual counts of second degree robbery (count 1) and assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury ( 245, subd. (a)(1); count 8). On November 2, the court imposed a prison term of five years, consisting of the two-year lower term on the robbery, eight months on each of the grand theft counts, and one year on the assault. The court awarded appellant 102 days of presentence credits. Appellant did not request, and the court did not issue, a certificate of probable cause ( 1237.5).
Appellants appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief which summarizes the pertinent facts, with citations to the record, raises no issues, and asks that this court independently review the record. (Peoplev.Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Appellant has not responded to this courts invitation to submit additional briefing.
