Opinion

Benke, J.

DISCUSSION

Appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief summarizing the facts and

proceedings in the trial court. Counsel has presented no argument for reversal, and

invited this court to review the record for error in accordance with Wende, supra,

25 Cal.3d 436. Pursuant to Anders, supra, 386 U.S. 738, counsel identified the following

as possible, but not arguable, issues:

"1. Was appellant advised of his trial rights and the consequences of his plea

prior to entering the plea bargain?

"2. Is there a factual basis for the plea?

"3. Did appellant receive the agreed sentence?

"4. Did appellant receive the correct pre-sentencing credit?

"5. Did the sentencing judge abuse his discretion in imposing the upper term of

16 years?"

3 A review of the record pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436, and Anders,

supra, 386 U.S. 738, including the issues suggested by counsel, has disclosed no

reasonably arguable appellate issue. We granted Martinez permission to file a brief on

his own behalf. He has not responded. Martinez has been represented by competent

counsel on this appeal.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.
