P. v. Hughes
Over three years ago, defendant appealed from a judgment following pleas of guilty and imposition of a ten-year state prison term: the upper term of eight years on count one, and a two-year consecutive term on count two. His counsel raised no issues and asked this court for an independent review of the record to determine whether there are any issues that would, if resolved favorably to appellant, result in reversal or modification of the judgment. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436; see also Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259.) Upon review of the record Court found no arguable issues, although Court ordered an amendment of the abstract of judgment to require AIDS testing.
