v.

ELIGIO BATTAD TAVANLAR,

     Defendant and Appellant.

                   Eligio Battad Tavanlar appeals from a judgment entered after he pled
guilty to one count of conspiracy (Pen. Code, § 182, subd. (a)(1); three burglaries (id.
§§ 459/460), eight identity thefts (id. § 530.5, subd. (a)); two driver's license forgeries
(id. § 470a); and three other forgeries (id. § 470, subd. (d)). The trial court denied his
motion to withdraw his guilty plea and sentenced him to a stipulated term of nine years.
                   In 2012, appellant and his sister and codefendant Melendre Tavanlar
acquired identification documents from multiple victims, manufactured false
identification documents and checks, and cashed or attempted to cash the false checks.
                   We appointed counsel to represent appellant in this appeal. After reviewing
the record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues and requesting this court to
independently examine the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.
We advised appellant that he had 30 days in which to submit a written brief or letter
stating any contentions or arguments he wished us to consider, but have received no
reply.
              We have examined the entire record. We are satisfied that appellant's
appellate counsel has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues
exist. (People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th
106, 126.)
              The judgment is affirmed.
              NOT TO BE PUBLISHED.
