People v. Ellis CA4/1

STATEMENT OF FACTS

Since this is an appeal from a guilty plea, it is sufficient to note that Ellis admitted

transporting methamphetamine.

DISCUSSION

As we have previously noted, appellate counsel has filed a brief indicating she is

unable to identify any argument for reversal and asks this court to review the record for

error as mandated by Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436. Pursuant to Anders, supra, 386 U.S.

738, the brief identifies possible but not arguable issues:

1. Whether the trial court abused its discretion in failing to replace appointed

counsel?

2. Whether the court should have appointed new counsel to argue a possible

motion to withdraw the guilty plea based on ineffective assistance of counsel?

2 We have reviewed the entire record in accordance with Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d

436 and Anders, supra, 386 U.S. 738 and have not found any reasonably arguable

appellate issues. Competent counsel has represented Ellis on this appeal.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.
