Opinion


THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. CHRISTOPHER M. SKINNER, Defendant and Appellant. D051607 California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, First Division March 11, 2008

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Super. Ct. No. SCE268897 Herbert J. Exarhos, Judge.

HALLER, J.

Christopher M. Skinner entered a negotiated guilty plea to receiving a stolen motor vehicle (Pen. Code, § 496d) and admitted he had served three prior prison terms within the meaning of Penal Code section 667.5, subdivision (b). The plea agreement called for a five-year stipulated prison term. Skinner was sentenced in accordance with the plea agreement as follows: the middle terms of two years plus one additional year for each prior prison term.

On February 1, 2007, Skinner possessed a stolen motor vehicle.

Appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief setting forth the evidence in the superior court. Counsel presents no argument for reversal, but asks that this court review the record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Pursuant to Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, counsel refers to as a possible, but not arguable, issue: whether Skinner was properly advised of his constitutional rights and voluntarily waived them when he pleaded guilty.

We granted Skinner permission to file a brief on his own behalf. He has not responded.

A review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California, supra, 386 U.S. 738, including the possible issue referred to by appellate counsel, has disclosed no reasonably arguable appellate issue. Competent counsel has represented Skinner on this appeal.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.

WE CONCUR: HUFFMAN, Acting P. J., AARON, J.
