IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION TWO

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent, E086247

v. (Super.Ct.No. FERI2501473)

JAMES THOMAS WILSON, OPINION

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from the Superior Court of Riverside County. Jennifer R. Gerard,

Judge. Affirmed.

Jo Pastore, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and

Appellant.

No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

1 In this Anders/Wende1 matter, defendant and appellant James Thomas Wilson

appeals from his conviction under a plea agreement to two of three pending charges in an

amended complaint. Specifically, defendant pled guilty to committing domestic violence

in which he inflicted bodily injury resulting in a traumatic condition (Pen. Code,2 § 273.5,

subd. (f)(1)) and to assault with a deadly weapon (id., § 245, subd. (a)(1)) when he

attempted to strike the victim with his car. In pleading guilty, defendant admitted the

factual basis for the plea and he acknowledged, among other consequences of the plea,

that he was prohibited from possessing firearms. Also pursuant to the plea: (1) defendant

admitted a prior strike (§ 422 [criminal threats] under the “Three Strikes” law; (2) the

balance of the amended complaint was dismissed, including multiple alleged aggravating

factors and an unlawful ammunition possession charge (§ 30305); and (3) the trial court

imposed an aggregate 6-year prison term. In conjunction with entering the judgment, the

trial court issued a criminal protective order prohibiting defendant from possessing

firearms for 15 years.

On appeal, this court appointed appellate counsel. Counsel’s review of the record

and legal research uncovered no arguable issues to raise on appeal, including after

consultation with Appellate Defenders, Inc. In reaching that conclusion, counsel noted

for our potential reconsideration in our independent review several issues she concluded

1 Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.

2 All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise specified.

2 lacked arguable merit. (See People v. Johnson (1981) 123 Cal.App.3d 106, 109 [“an

arguable issue” requires “a reasonable potential for success” on appeal].) Those issues

are: (1) whether defendant was properly advised of plea consequences, without

indicating any erroneous advisement; (2) whether the court erred in prohibiting firearm

possession for 15 years; and (3) whether defendant was adequately arraigned on the

amended complaint?

Having independently reviewed the record for potential error, we are satisfied

defendant’s attorney has fully complied with the responsibilities of counsel and no

arguable issue exists. (People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 126; People v. Wende,

supra, 25 Cal.3d at pp. 441-442.)

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.
