THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. PEYTON YVETTE WILLIAMS, Defendant and Appellant.
Jonathan B. Steiner, Executive Director, and Richard L. Fitzer, Staff Attorney, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
At 10:30 p.m. on June 23, 2002, four people were robbed at gunpoint while walking down a Glendale street. The robber took money, jewelry and a cell phone from three of the four victims. Based on photo identifications, Peyton Williams was arrested and charged with four counts of second degree robbery. (Pen. Code, § 211.) Williams waived his right to a jury trial in exchange for a three-year sentencing lid. At trial, one of the victims positively identified Williams as the robber. Two others made less positive identifications, testifying in essence that Williams looked like or could have been the man who robbed them. Someone who witnessed the crime from about 60 feet away also believed Williams was the robber. The court found Williams guilty on one count of robbery. The other three counts were dismissed by the prosecutor under Penal Code section 1385. Williams was given a suspended three-year prison sentence and placed on probation.
Williams has appealed. On August 6, 2003, his appointed lawyer filed a brief in which no issues were raised. The brief included a declaration stating that counsel had informed Williams about counsels evaluation of the case and had advised Williams of his right to file a supplemental brief. On August 7, 2003, we sent a letter to Williams stating that he had 30 days to submit by brief or letter any contentions he wished us to consider. To date, he has not done so. We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that appellants attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.)
The judgment is affirmed.
We concur: COOPER, P.J. and BOLAND, J.
