Opinion

Mcdonald, J.

FACTS

Turner admitted that, on July 2, 2013, she inflicted corporal injury resulting in a

traumatic condition on her cohabitant. She also admitted that, in 1985, she was convicted

of a violation of Penal Code section 245, subdivision (a)(1), alleged as a prior strike.

DISCUSSION

Appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief summarizing the facts and

proceedings below. Counsel presents no argument for reversal, but asks this court to

2 review the record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and

Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738. Counsel identifies as possible, but not

arguable, issues: whether Turner was misadvised of the consequences of her guilty plea

and whether the trial court abused its discretion when it denied her motion to dismiss the

prior strike allegation she admitted.

We granted Turner permission to file a supplemental brief on her own behalf, but

she has not responded. A review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende, supra, 25

Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California, supra, 386 U.S. 738 has disclosed no reasonably

arguable appellate issues. Turner has been competently represented by counsel on this

appeal.
