P. v. Martinez
On July 7, 1999, before a preliminary hearing and as part of a plea bargain that he would not receive more than a 6-year low term sentence, Ismael Martinez pleaded guilty to continuous sexual abuse of his daughter over a three-year period, the only crime charged against him.[1] (Pen. Code, 288.5, subd. (a); all further section references are to the Pen. Code.) On August 19, 1999, pursuant to a favorable probation report and over the prosecutors objection, the court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Martinez on probation for five years on condition, among others, that he serve one year in jail; register as a sex offender; report to his probation officer upon his release from custody; after any departure from the country, provide documentation to his probation officer proving that he had re-entered the country legally; pay several fines; and not reside in the same household as his minor children.
Court have examined the entire record and are satisfied that Martinez attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.) The judgment is affirmed.
