P. v. Villarreal
Appellant Michael Anthony Villarreal and three codefendants were charged with first degree murder of Antonio Castillo, with an enhancement for committing the offense for the benefit of a criminal street gang. Appellant and the codefendants entered into a negotiated disposition whereby they pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter, admitted the gang enhancement, waived their appellate rights, and would receive a sentence of 21 years. Appellant then sought to withdraw his plea and admission. The court denied the motion and imposed the aggregate term of 21 years. Appellant has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Court dismiss the appeal.
