Mendocino County Super. Ct. No. SCUK-CRCR- 08-85799-02
Reardon, J.
Pursuant to a negotiated disposition, Francisco Ayala Corona pled guilty to felony false personation (Pen. Code, § 529) and misdemeanor false identification to a peace officer (Pen. Code, § 148.9, subd. (a)). Other charges were dismissed. Appellant was sentenced to the midterm of two years in state prison, with 30 days concurrent on the misdemeanor.
According to the probation report, Officer Cabral made a traffic stop of a vehicle driven by appellant. Appellant identified himself as “Carlos Sanchez” using a “Mexican ID card.” Officer Cabral remembered appellant as “Pedro” from a previous arrest. Fingerprints confirmed that “Sanchez” was actually “Francisco Ayala Corona.” Corona continued to identify himself as “Sanchez” until his fingerprints were taken. He admitted using a false name and date of birth to avoid deportation to Mexico.
Counsel for appellant has filed an opening brief raising no issues and asking this court for an independent review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Counsel has notified appellant of the filing of this brief and advised appellant he has 30 days within which to file a brief of his own. We have conducted the requested review and conclude that there are no arguable issues.
Appellant was represented throughout the proceedings by counsel. His pleas were validly entered. There was no sentencing error.
Judgment is affirmed.
We concur: Ruvolo, P. J., Rivera, J.
