P. v. Rowman
Defendant Richard Daniel Rowman pleaded guilty to one count of first degree residential burglary. As part of a plea agreement, defendant was sentenced to a total of 12 years in state prison.
We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. Appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), setting forth the facts of the case, raising no issues, and requesting that we independently review the entire record.
On October 29, 2012, this court provided defendant with 30 days to file written argument on his own behalf. Defendant requested additional time to file written argument; this court granted defendant’s requests, and ultimately provided defendant until February 26, 2013, to file a supplemental brief. Defendant did not file a supplemental brief identifying any issues for our review.
In response to this court’s order for supplemental briefing on the limited issue of defendant’s presentence custody credits, defendant, his appointed counsel, and the Attorney General all filed supplemental letter briefs. We conclude defendant is entitled to additional presentence custody credits, and we direct the trial court to amend the judgment to award defendant a total of 31 days of presentence custody credit, and to prepare an amended abstract of judgment reflecting defendant’s correct credits.
We have examined the entire record and counsel’s Wende/Anders brief, and find no other arguable issue. (Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.)
