_____________________________________

On May 23, 2018, the Los Angeles County District Attorney 

filed an information charging defendant Jimmy Robinson with
2

attempted premeditated murder (Pen. Code1 §§ 664/187, 

subd. (a)) and certain sentencing enhancements.

On March 16, 2021, defendant, pursuant to the terms of an 

oral plea agreement, pleaded no contest to attempted 

premeditated murder and admitted that he personally used a 

firearm in the commission of his offense (§ 12022.5). He also 

admitted that he caused great bodily injury resulting in paralysis 

or brain damage (§ 12022.7, subd. (b)). Following the plea 

colloquy, the trial court found that defendant had expressly, 

knowingly, understandingly, and intelligently waived his 

constitutional rights and that his plea and admissions were freely 

and voluntarily made with an understanding of the nature and 

consequences of the plea. The court also found there was a 

factual basis for the plea.

On April 8, 2021, the parties appeared for sentencing. 

Defendant advised the court that he wished to proceed to trial 

and was “not signing anything.” When asked by the trial court 

whether he wished to withdraw his plea, defendant responded 

that he did, and explained, “[M]y mother, she is the one ready for 

me to come home. I’m innocent. I ain’t doing nothing.” Defense 

counsel then made an oral motion to withdraw defendant’s plea 

and submitted on the motion. The court agreed with the 

prosecutor’s argument that defendant had “buyer’s remorse” and 

denied the motion.

After hearing a victim impact statement from the victim’s 

uncle, the trial court sentenced defendant, consistent with the 

terms of the plea agreement, to a high term of seven years to life 

on the attempted murder charge, with a 10-year enhancement 

1 All further statutory references are to the Penal Code.
3

pursuant to section 12022.5, and a five-year enhancement 

pursuant to section 12022.7, subdivision (b) for a total aggregate 

term of 22 years to life. The court also imposed certain fees and 

assessments. The court then dismissed the remaining sentencing 

enhancement allegations.

On May 5, 2021, defendant filed a notice of appeal and 

requested a certificate of probable cause. The trial court denied 

the request.

We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. 

On February 22, 2022, counsel filed an opening brief in which 

counsel did not identify any arguable issues and requested that 

we follow the procedure set forth in People v. Wende (1979) 25 

Cal.3d 436, 441 (Wende). That same date, we advised defendant 

that appointed appellate counsel had failed to find any arguable 

issues and he had 30 days within which to independently brief 

any grounds for appeal, contentions, or arguments that he wished 

for us to consider. Defendant did not file a supplemental brief.

We have reviewed the record and are satisfied that 

defendant’s appointed appellate counsel has fully complied with 

counsel’s responsibilities and no arguable issues exist. (Wende, 

supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.)
