P. v. Rollon CA2/4
Braiden John Rollon pled no contest to two counts of lewd acts upon a child (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a)) and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, pursuant to a plea agreement. On appeal from the judgment, Rollon’s appellate counsel filed an opening brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) summarizing the facts in this case and the procedural history, but raising no issues, and asked this court to independently review the record. Rollon purports to challenge only his sentence, and not the validity of his plea. We conclude that by challenging his negotiated sentence Rollon effectively challenges the validity of his plea. Because Rollon did not obtain a certificate of probable cause (§ 1237.5), we dismiss the appeal.
