P. v. Martin
Defendant Anthony Curtis Martin was charged by information with inflicting corporal injury on a cohabitant (Pen. Code, 273.5, subd. (a)). The information also alleged that defendant had served two prior prison terms. ( 667.5, subd. (b).) On May 26, 2005, defendant appeared with counsel, entered a no contest plea to the new offense, and admitted the prior prison term allegations, with the understanding that his maximum possible sentence was six years. At the same hearing he admitted violating his probation in an unrelated drug case.
Defendant filed a notice of appeal on January 4, 2007, after this court granted his motion for relief from default due to the failure to timely file a notice of appeal. Court appointed counsel to represent defendant in this court. Appointed counsel has filed an opening brief which states the case and facts but raises no issues. We notified defendant of his right to submit written argument in his own behalf within 30 days. That time has elapsed and we have received no response from defendant. Pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have reviewed the entire record and have concluded that there is no arguable issue on appeal. The judgment is affirmed.
