IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA



FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT



DIVISION TWO











THE PEOPLE,


Plaintiff and Respondent,


v.


RICKY PRUDHOLME, JR.,


Defendant and Appellant.



E039240


(Super.Ct.No. FBA008757)


OPINION



APPEAL from the Superior Court of San Bernardino County. John B. Gibson, Judge. Affirmed.


Dacia A. Burz, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.


No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.


On September 7, 2005, the district attorney filed an information charging defendant with four felonies.


On September 13, 2005, defendant entered a plea to count 1, felon in possession of a firearm. (Pen. Code, § 12021, subd. (a)(1).) Pursuant to a plea bargain,[1] the other three felonies were dismissed. The plea bargain called for a sentence of three years, a waiver of referral to the probation department and immediate sentencing.


After orally canvassing defendant, the court accepted the plea bargain and immediately sentenced him in accordance with the plea bargain.


On October 27, 2005, defendant requested a certificate of probable cause stating that at the time he entered his plea, he was medicated and did not know what he was doing. The court granted the request for the certificate of probable cause.


Defendant has appealed and at his request we appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel has filed a brief under authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 setting forth a statement of the case, possible issues to guide our review, and requesting this court to undertake an independent review of the entire record.


We provided defendant with an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, but he has not done so.


We have now completed our independent review and find no arguable issues.


The judgment is affirmed.
