IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
| THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. RONALD REVINESH CHANDRA, Defendant and Appellant. | H029799 (Monterey County Super. Ct. No. SS031858) |
Pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement defendant Ronald Revinesh Chandra pled guilty to one count of attempted, nonpremeditated murder (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 664, subd. (a)) and admitted having personally used a firearm in the commission of the offense. (Id., § 12022.5.) He was sentenced to the agreed-upon 17 years in prison.
According to the transcript of the preliminary hearing, defendant had approached one of his neighbors, pointed a .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun at the neighbor, and repeatedly pulled the trigger. The gun failed to discharge and defendant ran after the neighbor. Defendant continued to point the gun at the neighbor while he attempted to chamber a round of ammunition into the gun. Defendant chased the neighbor up to his house, all the while pulling the slide on the gun forward and back and tapping the slide as if to seat the magazine for firing. The neighbor struggled with defendant and had him pinned face down on the ground when the police arrived.
We appointed counsel to represent defendant in this court. Appointed counsel filed an opening brief which states the case and the facts but raises no specific issues. We notified defendant of his right to submit written argument in his own behalf within 30 days. That period has elapsed and we have received no written argument from defendant.
Pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, we have reviewed the entire record and have concluded that there is no arguable issue on appeal.
The judgment is affirmed.
