P. v. Carman
Defendant entered a negotiated guilty plea to taking or driving another's car without permission. (Veh. Code, S 10851, subd. (a).) The court suspended imposition of sentence and placed her on three years probation including a condition she serve 180 days in custody. It ordered Carman to pay $3,883.26 victim restitution. The record does not include a certificate of probable cause. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.304 [former rule 30(b)].) Appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief setting forth the evidence in the superior court. Counsel presents no argument for reversal but asks this court to review the record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Pursuant to Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, counsel refers to as a possible, but not arguable, issue whether the trial court erred in ordering Carman to pay restitution to the victim in an amount that included the insurer's payment to the car owner for the damage. Court granted defendant permission to file a brief on her own behalf. She has not responded. A review of the entire record pursuant to People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436, including the possible issues referred to pursuant to Anders v. California, supra, 386 U.S. 738, has disclosed no reasonably arguable appellate issue. Competent counsel has represented defendant on this appeal. The judgment is affirmed.
