P. v. Cooper
Following a preliminary hearing in which defendant and appellant Dontay Cooper was held to answer on seven felony counts and related firearm use allegations, defendant entered no contest pleas to two counts of second degree robbery (Pen. Code, 211) and admitted the personal use of a firearm (Pen. Code, 12022.53, subd. (b)). Pursuant to an agreed upon disposition, defendant was sentenced to concurrent 12-year terms on the two counts, comprised of the low term of 2 years for the robberies and 10 years for the weapon enhancements. The court awarded defendant appropriate custody and conduct credits and imposed all pertinent fines and fees.
Defendant filed a notice of appeal from the judgment indicating the appeal was based on the sentence of matters occurring after the plea pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 8.304. Counsel was appointed to represent defendant on appeal. Appointed counsel filed a brief raising no appellate issues and requesting this court to independently review the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Defendant was advised by letter of his right to submit a brief within 30 days. No brief has been filed by defendant.
