IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION TWO

APPEAL from the Superior Court of Riverside County. Ron P. Heumann and Suzanne Knauf, Judges.^[1] Affirmed.

Jean Ballantine, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

No appearance by Plaintiff and Respondent.

A jury convicted the defendant of voluntary manslaughter (Pen. Code § 192 (a)) during which he used a knife (Pen. Code § 12022(b)(1).) In bifurcated proceedings, he admitted suffering two prior convictions for which he served prison terms (Pen. Code § 667.5 (b).) He was sentenced to prison for 14 years.

Defendant appealed, and upon his request this court appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 [87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493] setting forth a statement of the case, a summary of the facts, and potential arguable issues and requesting this court to undertake a review of the entire record.

We offered the defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, and he has done so.

We have now concluded our independent review of the record and find no arguable issues.

The judgment is affirmed.
