IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION SIX
| THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. BRIAN EUGENE MAHIA, Defendant and Appellant. | 2d Crim. No. B186976 (Super. Ct. No. 1191726) (Santa Barbara County) |
Brian Eugene Mahia appeals from the judgment following his nolo contendre plea to petty theft with a prior. (Pen. Code, §§ 484, subd. (a); 666.).[1] Pursuant to the negotiated plea, appellant admitted that he had suffered a prior felony strike within the meaning of the Three Strikes law (§ 667, subds. (d)(1)-(e)(1)).
The trial court sentenced him to six years state prison and ordered him to pay a $1,200 restitution fine (§ 1202.4, subd. (b)) and a $1,200 parole revocation fine (§ 1202.45).
We appointed counsel to represent appellant in this appeal. After examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised.
On March 16, 2006, we advised appellant that he had 30 days in which to personally submit any contentions that he wished to raise on appeal. On April 2, 2006 we received a letter from appellant stating, among other things, that he was denied effective assistance of trial counsel. We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that appellant's appointed counsel has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
