P. v. Brothers
Appellant Aubrey Lee Brothers appeals from his convictions and resulting sentence following his no-contest pleas to one count of residential burglary with a person present (Pen. Code,[1] §§ 460, subd. (a), 667.5, subd. (c)(21)), and one count of assault by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)). (He also admitted a prior conviction for a serious felony and a strike, for which he received a negotiated state prison aggregate sentence of nine years.)
Appellant’s counsel has filed an opening brief in which no issues are raised, and asks this court for an independent review of the record as required by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). Counsel has declared that appellant has been notified that no issues were being raised by counsel on appeal, and that an independent review under Wende instead was being requested. Appellant was also advised of his right personally to file a supplemental brief raising any issues he chooses to bring to this court’s attention. No supplemental brief has been filed by appellant personally.
