People v. Saminathen CA4/1

DISCUSSION

As we have previously noted, appellate counsel has filed a brief indicating he 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 the following possible, but not arguable issues:

Because Saminathen pleaded guilty before the preliminary hearing and waived his probation report, there is no transcript from which we can provide more detailed facts concerning the circumstances surrounding his arrest. 2 1. Was Saminathen's plea involuntary because he would not have pleaded guilty

and accepted probation if he had been informed of the Penal Code section 1000 drug

diversion option for his offense?

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 Saminathen on appeal.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.
