P. v. Jimenez
Defendant Loreto Bojorquez Jimenez, driving under the influence of alcohol, was involved in an accident that caused great bodily injury to the driver of the other car involved. Defendant was charged with six counts related to the accident. He pleaded guilty to violating Vehicle Code section 23153, subdivision (b),[1] (driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or greater) and section 2800.3 (eluding a pursuing peace officer and causing serious bodily injury to another person) and admitted that he personally caused great bodily injury to the victim, Kenneth Patrick Whitcomb (Pen. Code, 12022.7, 667 & 1192.7) and that he had one prior conviction of driving under the influence ( 23103.5). Defendant entered the plea in exchange for the dismissal of the remaining charges and a promise of four years and four months in prison. The trial court sentenced defendant to the agreed-upon term. This appeal followed, the notice of appeal citing only sentencing error as grounds for the appeal.
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. That period has elapsed and Court have received no written argument from defendant.
