P. v. English
Donnell English (appellant) appeals from the denial of his petition for writ of error coram nobis. We appointed counsel to represent him on appeal. Counsel filed a brief that set forth the facts and procedural history of the case. Counsel presented no argument for reversal but asked this court to review the record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738. We granted appellant 30 days to file a supplemental brief. In his responsive filings, appellant contends he received ineffective assistance of counsel. He asserts his midtrial guilty plea to three counts of child molestation was based on his attorneys concern for the well-being of one of the child victims and a broken promise to vigorously protect his interests during sentencing proceedings. Based on our independent review of the record, counsels brief, and appellants supplemental brief, we conclude the trial court correctly denied appellants petition for writ of error coram nobis and therefore affirm the judgment.
