Opinion


THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. REGINALD ARRINGTON, Defendant and Appellant. A130250 California Court of Appeal, First District, Fourth Division July 11, 2011

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

Contra Costa County Super. Ct. No. 04-165607-3.

Reardon, J.

Appellant Reginald Arrington entered pleas of no contest to assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)); making criminal threats (id., § 422); and false imprisonment (id., §§ 236, 237, subd. (a)), with related enhancements. He was sentenced to the midterm of three years on the assault conviction, with a concurrent midterm of two years on the threat conviction and a concurrent midterm of two years on the false imprisonment conviction. The enhancements were stricken. Appellant filed a notice of appeal in part “based on the sentence or other matters occurring after the plea.”

Counsel for appellant has filed an opening brief arguing no issues and asking this court to conduct an independent review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. We have conducted the requested review and conclude that there are no arguable issues.

Appellant was informed by appellate counsel of the opportunity to file a supplemental brief, but has not done so.

According to the probation report, appellant placed a knife next to his daughter’s face and during a struggle, she sustained cuts to her hands and arms. He also put a pair of socks in her mouth, struck her on the temple with his fist, and placed a pair of handcuffs on her wrists. He forced her to snort cocaine. When interviewed by police at the hospital where appellant had agreed to take her, she was still wearing the handcuffs.

Appellant was represented throughout the proceedings by counsel. His pleas were validly entered. There was no sentencing error.

Judgment affirmed.

We concur: Ruvolo, P.J., Rivera, J.
