IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION TWO

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

RAYMOND EUGENE JENKINS,

Defendant and Appellant.

E075520

(Super.Ct.No. FVI8002048)

OPINION

APPEAL from the Superior Court of San Bernardino County. Tony 

Raphael, Judge. Affirmed.

Kirstin M. Ault, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant 

and Appellant.

No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

Defendant Raymond Eugene Jenkins entered a no contest plea to one count 

of rape in violation of California Penal Code section 261, subdivision (a)(2), and 

admitted an enhancement for great bodily injury under section 12022.7.1 The trial 

1 Undesignated statutory references are to the Penal Code.

court sentenced him to 11 years in prison, reflecting the upper term of eight years 

for the rape and three consecutive years for the enhancement. As well, the court 

imposed a $70 court operations fee and a $300 restitution fine, and it stayed the 

restitution fine pending successful completion of parole.

Appointed counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues. (See People v. 

Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436; Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738.) We 

advised Jenkins that he could file a supplemental brief, and he did so. His

supplemental brief consists of fifteen handwritten lines in which he denies raping 

anyone. The brief does not develop an argument nor cite to the record.

Before pleading no contest, Jenkins signed and initialed in numerous places 

a three-page plea form that contained extensive advisements. At his plea hearing, 

the court read the charges and the operative terms of the plea agreement, and 

Jenkins stated that he understood them. In particular, Jenkins confirmed that he 

understood the agreement called for a stipulated 11-year sentence. He confirmed 

that he agreed to the terms of the agreement and that his no contest plea would be 

treated the same as a guilty plea. He pled no contest to the rape allegation and 

admitted the great bodily injury enhancement. Pursuant to the parties’ agreement, 

the People dismissed four enhancements alleged in the information.

At his plea hearing, the parties agreed that charges in the information and 

the preliminary hearing transcript provided a factual basis for that plea. According 

to the facts presented at the preliminary hearing, Jenkins repeatedly raped Jessica, 
3

his biological daughter, over eight months in 2006. The rapes began shortly after 

she turned 21 in March, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. A 

police officer testified that Jenkins admitted fathering the boy but claimed the sex 

was consensual. The officer testified that Jenkins had written an apology letter.

Here, the trial court record contains nothing that can support setting aside 

the plea. There was no objection nor contested issue at the plea hearing or at 

sentencing. Jenkins filed no motion to set aside his plea for good cause pursuant 

to section 1018. There is nothing in the record or in the supplemental brief that 

provides reason to conclude that such a motion could be viable. (See, e.g., People 

v. Dillard (2017) 8 Cal.App.5th 657, 665 [“A plea may not be withdrawn simply 

because a defendant has changed his or her mind.”])

We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Jenkins’ attorney 

has fully complied with the responsibilities of counsel and that no arguable issues 

exist. (See People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.)
