THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. ROBERT JIMENEZ CORDOVA, Defendant and Appellant.

Rushing

Defendant, Robert Jimenez Cordova appeals from a judgment entered after he pleaded no contest to one count of rape by force (Pen. Code, § 261, subd. (a)(2)) and admitted one prior prison term. (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b).) After defendant filed a timely notice of appeal, we appointed counsel to represent him in this court.

Appointed counsel filed an opening brief which states the case and the facts but raises no specific issues. We notified defendant of his right to submit written argument in his own behalf within 30 days. That period has elapsed and we have received no written argument from defendant.

Pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, we have reviewed the entire record and have concluded that there is no arguable issue on appeal.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed. The abstract of judgment should be modified to reflect that defendant pleaded no contest to the charge of rape by force (Pen. Code, § 261, subd. (a)(2)) not unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor under 16 (Pen. Code, § 261.5, subd. (d)).
