P. v. Salgado
This appeal arises from guilty pleas in two cases as part of a plea agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Ninfo Salgado pleaded guilty in case no. SCD236953 to two counts of attempted murder (Pen. Code,[1] §§ 664/187), admitted the gang enhancements (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)), and that a principal discharged a firearm (§ 12022.53, subds. (c) & (e)).
Salgado also pled guilty in case no. SCD239011 to three counts of assault by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)); admitted the great bodily injury enhancement (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)), and the gang enhancement. In addition, Salgado admitted one serious/violent felony prior conviction (§ 667, subds. (b)‑(i)).
The parties stipulated that the total sentence Salgado would receive as a result of his guilty pleas was 38 years in prison. The sentence would be consecutive to a two-year term for a robbery conviction in another case.
Following his guilty pleas, Salgado's motion for self-representation was granted. He thereafter brought a motion to withdraw his guilty plea, which was denied following a contested evidentiary hearing.
The court sentenced Salgado to the stipulated 38-year term, consecutive to the two-year term for robbery for a total determinate term of 40 years in prison.
Salgado filed a notice of appeal and obtained a certificate of probable cause.
Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 368 U.S. 738 (Anders) raising possible, but not arguable issues. We offered Salgado the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal but he has not responded.
