P. v. Thompson
Defendant appeals from a judgment entered on his plea of no contest. His counsel has asked this court for an independent review of the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.)
Defendant, however, waived his right to appeal from the entry of his plea and the sentence imposed. Defendant was represented by counsel at all times, and received exactly the sentence that he bargained for, which was a tremendous benefit as he faced over 50 years to life if he was convicted after trial. There are no meritorious issues to be argued on appeal. The judgment is affirmed.
