P. v. West
On August 23, 2011, appellant, Robert Allen West, pled no contest to the offense commonly known as petty theft with a prior (Pen. Code, § 666)[1] and admitted enhancement allegations that he had served three separate prison terms for prior felony convictions. He entered his plea with the understanding that he would receive a sentence of four years, with two years to be served in custody and two years on mandatory supervision (§ 1170, subd. (h)(5)(B)). On October 25, 2011, the court struck one of appellant’s prior prison term enhancements and imposed the agreed upon four-year term as a split sentence, with two years to be served in Kern County Jail and the remaining two years on mandatory supervision.
Insofar as the record reveals, appellant did not request, and the court did not issue, a certificate of probable cause.
Appellant’s appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief which summarizes the pertinent facts, with citations to the record, raises no issues, and asks that this court independently review the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d. 436.) Appellant has not responded to this court’s invitation to submit additional briefing.
