IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION SIX
| THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. BENJAMIN ISAAC BALLESTEROS, Defendant and Appellant. | 2d Crim. No. B188505 (Super. Ct. No. 1074699) (Santa Barbara County)
|
Benjamin Issac Ballesteros appeals a judgment entered following his nolo contendere plea to second degree murder. (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a).) The trial court sentenced Ballesteros to a prison term of 15 years to life.
We appointed counsel to represent Ballesteros in this appeal. After counsel's examination of the record, he filed an opening brief raising no issues.
On June 30, 2006, we advised Ballesteros that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that he wished to raise on appeal. We have received no response from him.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Ballesteros's attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
