P. v. Garcia
On January 27, 2012, defendant Ismael Angel Garcia pleaded no contest to one count of shooting at an inhabited dwelling (Pen. Code, § 246)[1] and one count of assault with a firearm (§ 245, subd. (a)(2)). Garcia also admitted allegations that he personally used a firearm in committing the assault with a firearm (§ 12022.5, subd. (a)), as well as that he had suffered a prior strike conviction (§ 1170.12) and a prior serious felony conviction (§ 667, subds. (a), (b)-(i)). On April 24, 2012, Garcia was sentenced to 26 years, four months in prison.
We appointed counsel to represent Garcia in this court. Appointed counsel filed an opening brief which states the case and the facts, but raises no specific issues. We notified Garcia of his right to submit written argument in his behalf within 30 days, and he has filed a letter brief claiming ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to adequately investigate.
