P. v. Abila
Defendant Frank Manuel Abila appeals from his conviction after entry of pleas of no contest to all but two of the 36 felony and misdemeanor charges filed against him, pursuant to a plea disposition under which he would receive no more than 16 years in state prison. Thereafter, defendant brought a motion to withdraw his plea. The trial court denied the motion and sentenced defendant to 16 years in prison. Defendant timely appealed. No certificate of probable cause was obtained. We appointed counsel to represent defendant in this court.
Appointed counsel filed an opening brief which states the case and the facts but raises no specific issues. We notified defendant of his right to submit written argument in his own behalf within 30 days. The period has elapsed and we have received no written argument from defendant. Pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, we have reviewed the entire record and have concluded that there are no arguable issues on appeal.
The judgment is affirmed.
