P. v. Leiva
By information filed July 31, 2006,[1] appellant Jose Leiva was charged with three counts of committing a lewd or lascivious act against a child under the age of 14 (Pen. Code, 288, subd.(a); counts 1, 2, 3). A jury convicted appellant on all counts, and the court imposed a prison sentence of three years, consisting of the three-year lower term on count 1 and concurrent three-year terms on each of the remaining counts.
Appellants 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. (Peoplev.Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Appellant himself, in response to this courts invitation to submit supplemental briefing, has submitted a brief in which he argues, as best we can determine, that (1) the court erred in denying his pretrial motion to exclude statements he made to police, and (2) the evidence was insufficient to support the instant convictions.
