Judge. Affirmed.

Jamie Popper, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and 

Appellant.

No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant and appellant Raul Regla-Ramirez pled 

guilty to committing four counts of lewd acts on a child under the age of 14 years with 

force of fear. (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (b).) In exchange, the remaining allegations 

were dismissed, and defendant was sentenced to a stipulated term of 30 years in state 
2

prison with credit for time served. Defendant appeals from the judgment, challenging 

the sentence or other matters occurring after the plea. We find no error and affirm.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

From February 2004 through February 2011, defendant willfully and 

unlawfully committed lewd acts on Jane Doe, a child under the age of 14, with the 

intent of arousing or gratifying his lusts or sexual desires.

On October 29, 2012, an amended felony complaint was filed charging 

defendant with three counts of committing a lewd act on a child under the age of 14 

years (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a)(1), counts 1-3); one count of engaging in sexual 

intercourse or sodomy with a child 10 years of age or younger (Pen. Code, § 288.7, 

subd. (a), count 4); and one count of oral copulation or sexual penetration of a child 10 

years of age or younger (Pen. Code, § 288.7, subd. (b), count 5).

At the change of plea hearing on January 30, 2013, the complaint was amended 

by interlineations to add four counts of lewd acts on a child under the age of 14 years 

with force or fear. (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (b), counts 6-9.) Defendant subsequently 

pled guilty to counts 6 through 9 in exchange for a stipulated 30-year sentence and the 

dismissal of the remaining allegations. The trial court found that the guilty plea was 

entered into freely and voluntarily and that defendant knowingly and intelligently 

waived his rights. Defendant was thereafter immediately sentenced in accordance with 

his plea agreement and awarded credit of 144 days for time served. The trial court 
3

also imposed a restitution fine in the amount of $240, and imposed and stayed a parole 

revocation restitution fine in the same amount.

On February 13, 2013, defendant filed a notice of appeal, challenging the 

sentence or other matters occurring after the plea.

II

DISCUSSION

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 conduct an independent review of the record.

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 independently reviewed the record for potential error and find no arguable 

issues.
