COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

STATE OF CALIFORNIA

THE PEOPLE, D084911

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v. (Super. Ct. Nos. SCD300421, SCE387345, SCN448841) APRIL FAULCON,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Dwayne K. Moring, Judge. Affirmed. Ryan Peabody, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

April Faulcon entered into a plea agreement in which she pleaded guilty to felony offenses in three separate cases and admitted two strike priors. Faulcon was sentenced to a combined term of six years four months in prison.

PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Faulcon was charged and convicted in three separate cases, San Diego Superior Court case Nos. SCD300421, SCE387345, and SCN448841. In case No. SCD300421, Faulcon pleaded guilty to two counts of

burglary (Pen. Code,1 § 459) and two counts of grand theft (§ 487, subd. (a)) and admitted two prior strikes. The court gave an indicated lid of six years four months on the combined sentence for the three cases. In case No. SCE387345, Faulcon pleaded guilty to robbery (§ 211 ) and grand theft. The court applied the same sentencing lid as was done in the other two cases. Faulcon was referred to Drug Court but failed to appear and was not accepted by that court. In case No. SCN448841, Faulcon pleaded guilty to one count of burglary and one count of grand theft with the same sentencing lid as in the other cases. Faulcon was sentenced in accordance with the plea agreement. Faulcon filed a timely notice of appeal. Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 indicating counsel has not been able to identify any arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Counsel asks the court to independently review the record for error as mandated by Wende. We advised Faulcon of her right to file her own brief on appeal, but she has not responded. STATEMENT OF FACTS Counsel has provided a useful summary of the facts of the offenses in each of the three cases in this appeal. We will incorporate that summary in this opinion to provide background.
