P. v. Sowell
Defendant Tremaine Jatari Sowell pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property. (Pen. Code, § 496, subd. (a).) The court dismissed a misdemeanor charge of second degree burglary (Pen. Code, §§ 459, 460, subd. (b)) and obtaining an access card with the intent to defraud. (Pen. Code, § 484e, subd. (a).) Sentence was suspended and the court put defendant on three years’ formal probation and ordered he serve 365 days in jail. He was given 30 days’ actual and 30 days’ conduct credits.
After defendant appealed we appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel filed a brief that set forth the facts of the case and the disposition. He did not argue against defendant but advised the court he had not found any arguments to present on defendant’s behalf. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) He suggested two issues to assist us in our independent review of the record.
