P. v. Gonzalez
Defendant Amador Gonzalez entered a guilty plea to charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault, and admitted the truth of sentencing enhancements that he used a deadly weapon and personally inflicted great bodily injury. The trial court sentenced defendant to a total prison term of six years, which was the maximum term specified in the plea agreement.
Defendant appealed, and we appointed counsel to represent him. Appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), setting forth the facts of the case and requesting that we review the entire record. Pursuant to Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), appointed counsel suggested that we consider two issues: (1) was defendant sentenced in accordance with his guilty plea agreement; and (2) did the trial court abuse its discretion by not striking the enhancement for personal use of a knife.
