DISCUSSION

Defendant appealed and, upon his request, this court appointed counsel to

represent him. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979)

25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, setting forth a statement of

the case and a few potential arguable issues: (1) whether the waiver of the right to appeal

was valid; (2) whether the court abused its discretion in denying the certificate of

probable cause; (3) whether defendant’s guilty plea was constitutionally valid;

(4) whether it was proper for the court to impose restitution on the dismissed counts;

(5) whether there was a sufficient factual basis for the plea; and (6) whether defendant’s

trial counsel was ineffective. Counsel has also requested this court to undertake a review

of the entire record.

We offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, which

he has not done.

Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have

conducted an independent review of the record and find no arguable issues.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.
