P. v. Wilkerson CA6
Defendant Anthony Wilkerson pleaded no contest to assault with intent to commit rape (Pen. Code, § 220, subd. (a)) and lewd and lascivious conduct on a child under the age of 14 (§ 288, subd. (a)). Pursuant to the plea agreement, the trial court sentenced defendant to six years in prison. Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal, and this appeal followed.
Defendant’s counsel has filed an opening brief in which no issues are raised and which asks this court for an independent review of the record as required by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. We notified defendant of his right to submit a written argument on his own behalf, but he has not done so.
After an independent review of the record, we have concluded that there are no arguable issues on appeal. As required by People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110, we will provide “a brief description of the facts and procedural history of the case, the crimes of which defendant was convicted, and the punishment imposed.
