(Santa Barbara County)
Lolita Nelson appeals an order of the trial court denying her motion to withdraw her plea and dismiss her criminal case. In 2009, Nelson pleaded nolo contendere to one count of arson and was sentenced to a four-year prison term.
On January 10, 2019, Nelson filed a motion in the trial court in propria persona to withdraw her plea and dismiss her criminal case. Nelson asserted that she was factually innocent and that the judgment was not supported by sufficient evidence.
On April 8, 2019, the court denied the motion without prejudice. This appeal followed.
We appointed counsel to represent Nelson in this appeal. After counsel's examination of the record, he filed an opening brief raising no issues.
On August 20, 2019, we advised Nelson by mail that she had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that she wished to raise on appeal. We have not received a response.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Nelson's attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
