                   v.                                                  (Super. Ct. No. 13WF2804)

DEWAYNE LEE CONTRERAS,                                                 OPINION

     Defendant and Appellant.



                   Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court of Orange County, William
D. Claster, Judge. Affirmed.
                   Loleena H. Ansari for Defendant and Appellant.
                   No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.


                                             *               *               *
               Defendant Dewayne Lee Contreras pleaded guilty to one count of second
degree commercial burglary (Pen. Code, §§ 459, 460, subd. (b)) and had served two prior
prison terms (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)). In his guilty plea, defendant handwrote the
statement that he “willfully and unlawfully enter[ed] . . . a commercial building, with the
intent to commit larceny and to deprive the owner of their property permanently.” At the
plea hearing, the trial court asked if that was true and correct, and defendant said it was.
In accordance with the plea agreement, the court struck defendant’s prison priors for
sentencing purposes, imposed a five-year suspended sentence and placed defendant on
three years formal probation on the condition that he first serve 180 days in local custody.
               Defendant timely appealed, and we appointed counsel to represent him.
Counsel presents no argument for reversal, but asks this court to review the record for
error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). Pursuant to
Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders) counsel mentions the following
possible, but not arguable, issues: (1) whether defendant’s plea was constitutionally
valid; (2) whether the court complied with its duty to establish a sufficient factual basis
for the plea (Pen. Code, § 1192.5); and (3) whether defendant was sentenced in
accordance with the plea agreement.
               Following the Wende guidelines, we have reviewed counsel’s brief and the
entire appellate record and discern no arguable issue. (People v. Marlow (2004) 34
Cal.4th 131, 147 [Constitutional validity of plea reviewed under the totality of the
circumstances]; People v. Ivester (1991) 235 Cal.App.3d 328, 339 [the defendant’s
statement “‘I had a methamphetamine lab going in the residence’” was sufficient factual
basis for plea].)
               We notified defendant that he could file written argument on his own
behalf, but the period to do so has passed and we have received no communication from




                                              2
him. We have reviewed the record and found no arguable issue. The judgment is
affirmed.
