P. v. Phillips CA2/4
Appellant Edwin Phillips pled no contest to one count of failing to register as a convicted sex offender. (Pen. Code, § 290.015, subd. (a)). Because he did not receive a certificate of probable cause, his appeal is limited to matters occurring after entry of his plea which do not affect the validity of the plea. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.304(b)(4).) Appellant’s counsel filed an opening brief that raised no issues and requested independent review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). We have conducted an independent examination of the entire record and conclude no arguable issues exist. We therefore affirm.
