(Santa Barbara County)
Aubrey D. Wadford appeals from the sentence imposed after his guilty plea. (Pen. Code, § 1237, subd. (b); Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.304(b)(4)(B).)
During an argument with the mother of his child, Wadford stabbed and killed her. After several days of trial, Wadford waived his rights and pled guilty to second degree murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)). He also admitted the use of a knife in the commission of the offense (Pen. Code, § 12022, subd. (b)(1)). The trial court sentenced him to 15 years on the murder conviction, and a consecutive one year on the use of a deadly or dangerous weapon allegation.
Wadford was ordered to pay a restitution fine of $4,800 pursuant to Penal Code section 1202.4, a like fine of $4,800 pursuant to Penal Code section 1202.45 to be suspended pending successful completion of parole or postrelease community supervision, and restitution to the California Victim Compensation Board in the amount of $5,000. He received custody credits of 941 actual days.
We appointed counsel to represent Wadford in this appeal. After counsel examined the record, he filed an opening brief that raises no arguable issues. On January 16, 2018, we advised Wadford by mail that he had 30 days within which to submit any contentions or issues he wished us to consider. We have not received a response.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Wadford's attorney full complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
