Plaintiff and Respondent,
v. (Super. Ct. No. SCD289047)
LEOVARDO SALCEDA,

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Daniel B. Goldstein, Judge. Affirmed. Leovardo Salceda, in pro. per.; and Thien Huong Tran, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent. This appeal is from a conviction following a guilty plea. Appellant’s
request for a certificate of probable cause (Pen. Code,1 § 1237.5) was denied.
1 All further statutory references are to the Penal Code.
PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Leovardo Salceda pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter (§ 192, subd. (a)) and admitted personal use of a firearm (§ 12022.5, subd. (b)). Salceda was sentenced to the middle term of six years for manslaughter plus five years for the firearm enhancement. The court imposed a restitution fine of $3,300 (§ 1202.4(b)). The court also imposed a $40 court security fee and a $30 criminal conviction fee. Salceda was awarded 471 actual days and 234 conduct days for a total of 705 days of custody credits. Salceda filed a timely notice of appeal. Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), indicating counsel has not been able to identify any arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Counsel asks the court to review the record for error as mandated by Wende. We offered Salceda the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal. He has responded by filing a lengthy supplemental brief. We will address Salceda’s brief later in this opinion. DISCUSSION As we have noted, appellate counsel has filed a Wende brief and asks the court to review the record for error. To assist the court in its review, and in compliance with Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), counsel has identified a possible issue which was considered in evaluating the potential merits of this appeal: Whether Salceda’s presentence custody credits were properly calculated. Salceda’s supplemental brief is focused primarily on matters outside the record of this appeal. As we discuss his brief, we first point out this appeal is from the judgment imposed following his plea. Salceda does not challenge his plea and does not want to challenge his conviction or sentence.
