It is clear from the entry of the plea that appellant bargained for a specific six-year term. The change of plea form bearing his signature, as well as those of his attorney, the prosecutor and the court, states: "I will be sentenced to 6 yrs; waive probation report — all remaining counts dismissed." In addition, at the time he entered his plea, appellant's attorney first advised the court that "He would be receiving a three year aggravated term on the [Penal Code section] 261.5 and three one year enhancements on the prison priors, a total of six years in straight [sic] prison. He would waive probation report and be sentenced today." The court properly voir dired appellant on his understanding of the plea and the sentence, and found that the plea was "knowing, intelligent and voluntary." I perceive no defects or error in the record, and other than his erroneous claim that the court violated the dual-use-of-facts rule, appellant calls none to our attention. Consequently, California Rules of Court, rule 440 applies and no further statement of reasons is necessary.
For the foregoing reason, I concur that the judgment should be affirmed. *Page 606
