Opinion
Huffman, J.

offense, and the witness tried to break up the argument. The witness testified that he later
2 saw Ibrahim straddling the victim and punching him in the face with a closed fist. The
witness called 9-1-1 and when police arrived took them to the victim who was seriously

was trying to protect himself.
DISCUSSION
As we have noted, counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d
436, asking this court to review the record for error. Pursuant to Anders v. California
(1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), counsel has identified the following possible, but not
reasonably arguable issue for our consideration:
Whether the trial court abused its discretion in selecting the upper term for the
assault count?
We have reviewed the entire record pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436, and
Anders, supra, 386 U.S. 728, and have not discovered any reasonably arguable issues for
reversal on appeal. Competent counsel has represented Ibrahim on this appeal.
