P. v. Martinez
Defendant Priest Rogelio Martinez appeals a judgment entered after he pleaded no contest to kidnapping and robbery. His counsel has filed an opening brief raising no issues and asking this court for an independent review of the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant has been informed of his right to personally file a supplemental brief, but he has not done so.
Defendant and two co-defendants, Anthony Scott Cape and James Paul Miller, were charged with kidnapping to commit robbery (Pen. Code,[1] § 209, subd. (b)(1)) (count one); kidnapping (§ 207) (count two); robbery (§ 211) (count three); assault with a deadly weapon by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)) (counts four & five); and battery with great bodily injury (§ 243, subd. (d)) (count six). As to counts one, two, three, four, and five, the complaint alleged defendant personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim, Travis Tonne. (§ 12022.7, subd. (a).) The complaint also alleged additional enhancement and strike allegations against defendant, including a prior prison term. (§ 667.5.)
