INTRODUCTION
On January 5, 2012, a felony complaint charged defendant and appellant James
Charles Riggs with: buying, receiving, and/or concealing a stolen vehicle or equipment
with a prior conviction (Pen. Code, §§ 666.5, subd. (a), 496d, subd. (a), counts 1, 6, 12,
20, 23); unauthorized use of personal identifying information (§ 530.5, subd. (a),
counts 2, 5, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, 25); forgery (§ 470, subd. (d), counts 3, 4, 16, 22, 26);
second degree burglary (§ 459, counts 7, 8, 10, 13, 24, 29); grand theft exceeding $950
(§ 487, subd. (a), counts 9, 11, 18, 28); and buying, receiving, and/or concealing a stolen
vehicle or equipment (§ 496d, subd. (a), count 27).
As to counts 1, 4, 6, 29, the complaint alleged that defendant had a pattern of
related felony conduct taking more than $100,000. (§ 186.11, subd. (a)(1).) As to
count 29, the complaint further alleged defendant took, damaged, and/or destroyed
property in the commission or attempted commission of a felony with a value exceeding
$65,000. (12022.6, subd. (a)(1).) Additionally, the complaint alleged that defendant had
suffered six prior felony convictions for which he had served prison terms. (§ 667.5,
subd. (b).)
On August 29, 2012, defendant entered into a negotiated plea agreement. He pled
guilty to counts 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 11, and admitted the allegation charged under count 4.
(§ 186.11, subd. (a)(1).) The parties agreed to a state prison term of four years eight
months.

On August 31, 2012, the trial court sentenced defendant to four years eight months
in state prison. The court also ordered defendant to pay a booking fee of $450.34, a
restitution fine of $240, a parole revocation restitution fine of $240 (suspended pending
successful completion of parole), a court operations assessment fee of $240, a conviction
assessment fee of $180, and a victim restitution fine of $32,443.60. The court also
ordered defendant to submit fingerprint and DNA samples. (§ 296, subd. (a).)
Defendant received credit for time served of 90 actual days, plus 90 credit days
(§ 4019), for a total of 180 days.
Following the imposition of the sentence, the remaining counts and allegations
were dismissed. Similarly, the six prior allegations were stricken.
Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
In his plea agreement, defendant agreed that “I did the things that are stated in the
charges that I am admitting.”
ANALYSIS
After defendant appealed, and upon his request, this court appointed counsel to
represent him. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979)
25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, setting forth a statement of
the case, a summary of the facts and potential arguable issues, and requesting this court to
undertake a review of the entire record.
3
We offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, but he
has not done so. Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we
have conducted an independent review of the record and find no arguable issues.
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
