COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION ONE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THE PEOPLE, D064797
Plaintiff and Respondent,
v. (Super. Ct. No. SCS265572)
OSCAR CARLOS MANCHA,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Frances M.
Devaney, Judge. Affirmed.
Christian C. Buckley, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant
and Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
The People charged Oscar Carlos Mancha with illegal possession of a firearm
(Pen. Code, § 30305, subd. (a)(1); count 1); and possession of methamphetamine (Health
& Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a); count 2). As to both counts, it was alleged that he had
suffered a strike within the meaning of the "Three Strikes" law. (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 667,
subds. (b)-(i).)
Mancha pleaded guilty to the two counts, and admitted the enhancement allegation
as to count 1 only. In exchange, the People dismissed the enhancement allegation as to
count 2. The court sentenced Mancha to a stipulated term of 40 months in prison.
Before taking the plea, the court verified Mancha had signed and discussed the
change of plea form with his attorney, who had satisfactorily answered Mancha's
questions. The court asked if Mancha was freely and voluntarily giving up his right to a
trial, and Mancha replied in the affirmative.
DISCUSSION
Appointed counsel has filed a brief summarizing the facts and proceedings in the
trial court. 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. Pursuant to
Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, counsel refers to the possible but not arguable
issue of whether Mancha's plea was knowing and voluntary. We granted Mancha
permission to file a brief on his own behalf, but he did not do so.
Our review of the entire record pursuant to People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436
and Anders v. California, supra, 386 U.S. 738, including the possible issue referred to by
appellate counsel has disclosed no reasonably arguable appellate issues. Mancha was
competently represented by counsel on this appeal.
