P. v. Odom
Defendant Jermaine Samuel Odom timely appeals from a June 22, 2007 judgment sentencing him to three years, eight months in state prison after he pleaded no contest in two cases to arson (Pen. Code, 451, subd. (d))[1] and to resisting an executive officer ( 69), respectively. In his request for a certificate of probable cause,[2] Odom contended that he pleaded no contest based on false information provided by his appointed trial counsel, and, among other things, that his trial counsel failed to find information and witnesses and withheld important information from him. Odoms appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief under People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, identifying no potentially arguable issues. Counsel has also advised Odom of his right to file a supplemental brief, which he has not done. We have reviewed the entire record and agree with counsels assessment. Court conclude that Odom knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered into his plea agreement, that there is nothing in the record to support the contentions of attorney misconduct Odom made in his request for a certificate for probable cause, and that there is no issue warranting further briefing.
