P. v. Watts
Pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement, defendant entered a plea of no contest to continuous sexual abuse oral copulation of a person under the age of 16 and two counts of committing a lewd act upon a child, which crimes were charged in a felony complaint. The five remaining counts, which also alleged the commission of various sex crimes, were dismissed. In accordance with the terms of the plea agreement executed by defendant, the trial court sentenced defendant to a total term of 14 years in state prison. Defendant thereafter filed a notice of appeal in which he specified that he was challenging the validity of his plea. Defendant also requested a certificate of probable cause, but the trial court denied his request.
Court examined the entire record and was satisfied that defendant’s counsel complied fully with his responsibilities. No arguable issues exist. Judgment Affirmed.
