Opinion


THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. BRIAN THOMAS, Defendant and Appellant. D051406 California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, First Division February 27, 2008

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County Super. Ct. No. SCS211753, Edward P. Allard III, Judge.

McCONNELL, P. J.

Brian Thomas entered a negotiated guilty plea to grand theft from a person (Pen. Code, § 487, subd. (c)) and admitted he had served a prior prison term (§ 667.5, subd. (b)) and had a prior serious/violent felony or strike conviction (§ 667, subds. (b)-(i)). The trial court sentenced Thomas to a five-year prison term as stipulated in the plea agreement.

Statutory references are to the Penal Code.

Appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief setting forth 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 possible, but not arguable, issues: (1) whether Thomas was properly advised of his constitutional rights and the consequences of pleading guilty; (2) whether Thomas voluntarily waived his rights before pleading guilty; and (3) whether the sentence was authorized.

We granted Thomas 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 issues referred to by appellate counsel, has disclosed no reasonably arguable appellate issues. Competent counsel has represented Thomas on this appeal.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.

WE CONCUR: NARES, J., AARON, J.
