Opinion

STATEMENT OF FACTS

This appeal arises from a guilty plea. Bender admitted he unlawfully killed the victim using a knife. He also admitted a strike prior and that his performance on probation was not satisfactory.

DISCUSSION

As we have noted, appellate counsel has filed a Wende brief and asks the court to review the record for error. To assist the court in its review of the record, and in compliance with Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), counsel has identified a possible issue for the court’s consideration: Whether the court properly sentenced Bender in accordance with the plea agreement. We have reviewed the record for error as required by Wende and Anders. We have not discovered any arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Competent counsel has represented Bender on this appeal.
