P. v. Adams
James Darrell Adams, the defendant herein, pleaded no contest to vehicle theft (Veh. Code, 10851, subd. (a)) with a prior conviction for the same crime (see Pen. Code, 666.5, subd. (a)). Defendant admitted the truth of five of six enhancement allegations that he had been convicted of a felony for which he served a prior prison term. (Id., 667.5, subd. (b).) The remaining allegation was dismissed. The trial court sentenced defendant to three years in state prison and ordered him to pay restitution to the victim and two monetary assessments for the administration of justice. Defendant filed a motion to withdraw, on grounds of newly discovered evidence and ineffective assistance of counsel, his no contest plea. The trial court denied it. He appeals from the judgment on the ground that the court erred in so ruling. Counsel for defendant has filed an opening brief that states the case and facts but raises no issues. (See People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant, as he is entitled to do, filed his own brief. Court have reviewed the record and considered defendants arguments and will affirm the judgment.
