P. v. Cheatham CA6
Defendant Larry Cheatham pleaded nolo contendere to a count of inflicting corporal injury on a spouse, cohabitant, former spouse or former cohabitant (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a)). He was placed on probation for a term of one year. On appeal, defendant’s counsel has filed an opening brief in which no issues are raised and asks this court for an independent review of the record as required by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Counsel has declared that defendant was notified that an independent review under Wende was being requested. We advised defendant of his right to submit written argument on his own behalf within 30 days. Thirty days have elapsed, and defendant has not submitted a letter brief. Pursuant to Wende, we have reviewed the entire record and have concluded that there are no arguable issues. We will provide “a brief description of the facts and procedural history of the case, the crimes of which the defendant was convicted, and the punishment imposed.”
