IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT
(Butte)
----
| THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. STEVE CRAIG RITCHIE, Defendant and Appellant. | C051444
(Super. Ct. No. CM023298)
|
Defendant Steve Craig Ritchie entered a negotiated plea of no contest to driving with a blood-alcohol concentration of .08 percent or greater and causing injury to another. (Veh. Code, § 23153, subd. (b).) He also admitted having sustained three prior convictions within the past 10 years for driving under the influence. (Veh. Code, § 23566.) The trial court sentenced defendant to the upper term of four years in state prison. The court imposed a restitution fine of $800 (Pen. Code, § 1202.4, subd. (b)) and suspended an additional fine in the same amount pending successful completion of parole (Pen. Code, § 1202.45), and awarded eight days of custody credit.
Defendant appeals, without obtaining a certificate of probable cause. (Pen. Code, § 1237.5.)
We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case and requests this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed, and we received no communication from defendant. Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.
