P. v. Gonzalez
Mario Gonzalez entered into a plea agreement, under the terms of which he pled guilty to three offenses with firearm enhancements and stipulated to a 15-year prison sentence. Nine remaining counts were dismissed. Gonzalez filed a timely notice of appeal and requested a certificate of probable cause, which was denied by the court.
Pursuant to his plea agreement, Gonzalez pled guilty to count 1, kidnapping (Pen. Code,[1] § 207, subd. (a)) and admitted the firearm enhancement under section 12022.53, subdivision (b); count 8, assault with a firearm (§ 245, subd. (a)(2)) and count 10, kidnapping (§ 207, subd. (a)). Gonzalez was sentenced to the stipulated 15-year term.
After entering his guilty pleas Gonzalez requested and was granted the right to represent himself. Six weeks later, Gonzalez requested that counsel be re-appointed and the court granted his request. Gonzalez later brought a motion to withdraw his guilty plea, which motion was denied.
Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders) raising possible, but not arguable issues. We offered Gonzalez the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal but he has not responded.
