P. v. Lopez
On October 18, 2007, appellant Paul Anthony Lopez pled no contest to assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury (Pen. Code, 245, subd. (a)(1)) and admitted a strike allegation. On January 11, 2008, the court imposed a six-year prison term. On February 8, 2008, appellant filed a notice of appeal and requested a certificate of probable cause (Pen. Code, 1237.5). The court granted that request.
On appeal, appellants sole contention is that because his trial counsel did not present a motion to withdraw appellants no contest plea, appellant was denied his right to the effective assistance of counsel. Court affirm.
