P.v . Orozco
Defendant appeals his conviction for lewd acts with a child (Pen. Code, S 288, subd. (a) (S 288(a)). His appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), raising no issues. Appellant was notified that he could file his own brief. He has not done so.
Appellant was charged with three counts of violating section 288(a), with three enhancements for committing great bodily injury. The evidence at the preliminary hearing showed that the 12 year old victim told appellant she was 16 years old. On three different nights, she voluntarily came outside through her bedroom window, they had consensual sex, and he paid her. She became pregnant, and had an abortion.
After review of the entire record on appeal, court are satisfied that appellant's attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities, and no arguable issues exist. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259; Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
