DIVISION THREE
THE PEOPLE,
Plaintiff and Respondent, G064317
v. (Super. Ct. No. FVI24000627)
DOMONICK DAWNTAY OPINION SIMMONSPRYOR,
Defendant and Appellant.
Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Bernardino County, Zahara Tigeri Arredondo, Judge. Affirmed. Matthew Johnson, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance by Plaintiff and Respondent.
Defendant Domonick Dawntay Simmonspryor appeals a judgment entered after he pleaded no contest to second degree burglary and was sentenced to 16 months in prison. After reviewing the record and consulting with a staff attorney at Appellate Defenders, Inc., defendant’s appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to the procedures set forth in People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738. While not arguing against his client, counsel represented he found no issues to advance on appeal and asked us to independently review the appellate record, which we have done. We also advised defendant of his right to file a written argument on his own behalf, but he has not done so. Finding no arguable issues, we affirm the judgment. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND On March 6, 2024, defendant was charged in a felony complaint with one count of first degree burglary. (Pen. Code, §§ 459, 460, subd. (a).) Six aggravating sentencing factors were alleged in connection with that charge. (Pen. Code, § 1170, subd. (b)(2).) Roughly a week later, defendant entered into a plea agreement with the prosecution to resolve his case. Under the terms of the agreement, defendant agreed to plead no contest to second degree burglary in exchange for the low term of 16 months in prison, with 24 days of presentence credit. At the plea hearing, the trial court accepted defendant’s plea and sentenced him accordingly. It also accepted the parties’ stipulation that the complaint and police report would serve as the factual basis for the plea. According to the police report, defendant broke into a private laundry room in Victorville without the owner’s permission on March 5, 2024. Once inside, he used the washing machine and the owner’s soap to wash his clothes. He also moved some tools around inside the room.
