P. v. Rowley CA1/4
Appellant Johnathan Ray Rowley appeals from his 32-month state prison sentence following his negotiated plea of no contest to one count of failing to register as a sex offender (Pen. Code, § 290, subd. (b)), and his admission to having a prior strike.
Appellant’s counsel has filed an opening brief in which he asks this court for an independent review of the record as required by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, specifically referencing the trial court’s denial of his motion to suppress evidence made at the time of the preliminary hearing, and the denial of his motion to strike his prior strike under Romero. Counsel has declared that appellant has been notified that no issues were being raised by counsel on appeal, and that an independent review under Wende instead was being requested. Appellant was also advised of his right personally to file a
supplemental brief raising any issues he chooses to bring to this court’s attention. No brief has been submitted by appell
