                    COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

                                                  DIVISION ONE

                                           STATE OF CALIFORNIA

THE PEOPLE,                                                         D063151

         Plaintiff and Respondent,

         v.                                                         (Super. Ct. No. SCD233159)

ANTHONY LYNN PINKINS,

         Defendant and Appellant.

         APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Leo

Valentine, Jr., Judge. Affirmed.

         Neil F. Auwarter, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for the Defendant

and Appellant.

         Kamala D. Harris, Attorney General, for the Plaintiff and Respondent.
       Anthony Lynn Pinkins pleaded guilty to two counts of second degree burglary.

(Pen. Code,1 § 459.) In exchange, the People dismissed a charge of failure to appear

after release on one's own recognizance. (§ 1320, subd. (b).) The court sentenced

Pinkins to a stipulated prison term of 16 months, to run consecutively to another prison

term he was serving. The court ordered him to pay restitution fines of $240 each under

sections 1202.4, subdivision (b) and 1202.45. Pinkins appeals. We affirm.

       Appointed counsel has filed a brief summarizing the facts and proceedings below.

Counsel presents no argument for reversal but asks that this court review the record for

error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Pursuant to Anders v.

California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, counsel refers to possible but not arguable issues of

whether: (1) the trial court erred in stating that because he was already serving a

consecutive strike sentence in a prior case, he was entitled to only 20 percent credit for

time served in prison against the newly imposed nonstrike sentence; (2) the limitation on

credit for time served in prison was part of the plea bargain and, if so, whether estoppel

applies, and what effect the lack of a certificate of probable cause had; (3) whether the

court properly denied him dual credits for presentence custody under section 4019 on

grounds that during presentence custody he was also serving prison time and receiving

credits against that earlier case; (4) his guilty plea was constitutionally invalid; (5) the

court properly denied his motion filed pursuant to People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d

118; and (6) the court violated the federal Constitution's bar against ex post facto

                                               2
punishment when it failed to make a finding of his ability to pay the restitution fines

under sections 1202.4, subdivision (b) and 1202.45.

       We granted Pinkins permission to file a brief on his own behalf. He has not

responded. Our review of the entire record pursuant to People v. Wende, supra, 25

Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California, supra, 386 U.S. 738, including the possible issues

referred to by appellate counsel and the circumstances surrounding the court's taking of

the plea, has disclosed no reasonably arguable appellate issues. Competent counsel has

represented Pinkins on this appeal.

                                      DISPOSITION

       The judgment is affirmed.

                                                                  O'ROURKE, Acting P. J.
