-ooOoo-
Appellant, Richard Banuelos, pled no contest to voluntary manslaughter (Pen. Code, § 192, subd. (a)). The court imposed the upper term of 11 years.
Appellant's appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief which summarizes the pertinent facts, with citations to the record, raises no issues, and asks that this court independently review the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Appellant has not responded to this court's invitation to submit additional briefing.
Following independent review of the record, we have concluded that no reasonably arguable legal or factual issues exist.
The judgment is affirmed.
