 KEVIN JAMES QUINCY,                                                     OPINION

         APPEAL from the Superior Court of Riverside County. Otis Sterling III, Judge.

                                                             1
                                     INTRODUCTION

       Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant and appellant Kevin James Quincy pled

guilty to four counts of attempted premeditated murder (Pen. Code,1 §§ 664, 187, counts

1-4), discharging a firearm at an inhabited house and an occupied vehicle (§ 246, count

6), and discharging a firearm at an occupied vehicle (§ 246, count 7). As to count 1, he

admitted the allegations that he personally discharged a firearm and caused great bodily

injury (GBI). (§§ 12022.53, subd. (b) & 1192.7, subd. (c)(8).) As to counts 6 and 7, he

admitted the allegation that he personally used a firearm. (§§ 667 & 1192.7,

subd. (c)(8).) A trial court sentenced defendant to state prison for the agreed-upon term

of 19 years.

       Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal “based on the sentence or other matters

occurring after the plea that do not affect the validity of the plea.” We affirm.

                             PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

       On October 1, 2014, defendant was charged by information with four counts of

attempted premeditated murder (§§ 664, 187, counts 1-4), discharging a firearm from a

vehicle (§ 26100, subd. (c), count 5), discharging a firearm at an inhabited house and an

occupied vehicle (§ 246, count 6), discharging a firearm at an occupied vehicle (§ 246,

count 7), and unlawful possession of a firearm (§ 29800, subd. (a)(1), counts 8-9). The

information further alleged as to count 1 that defendant personally inflicted GBI

(§§ 12022.7, subd. (a) & 1192.7, subd. (c)(8)) and personally discharged a firearm and

       1   All further statutory references will be to the Penal Code unless otherwise noted.
                                              2
caused GBI (§ 12022.53, subd. (d) & 1192.7, subd. (c)(8)). As to counts 2 through 4, it

alleged that defendant personally discharged a firearm (§ 12022.53, subd. (c) &1192.7,

subd. (c)(8)). As to counts 5 through 7, the information alleged that defendant personally

used a firearm. (§§ 667 & 1192.7, subd. (c)(8).) It was further alleged that he served one

prior prison term. (§ 667.5, subd. (b).)

       On April 28, 2022, the information was orally amended to strike the premeditation

allegations as to the attempted murder charges in counts 1 through 4, and to change the

firearm enhancement in count 1 from section 12022.53, subdivision (d), to section

12022.53, subdivision (b). Then, pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant pled guilty to

counts 1 through 4, 6, and 7. He also admitted the firearm enhancements in count 1

(§ 12022.53, subd. (b)) and counts 6 and 7 (§§ 667 & 1192.7, subd. (c)(8)). The

remaining counts and allegations were dismissed. The court found a factual basis for the

plea. It then sentenced defendant to the upper term of nine years on count 1, plus a

consecutive 10 years on the firearm enhancement. The court imposed concurrent terms

on the remaining counts and allegations.

                                       DISCUSSION

       Defendant appealed and, upon his request, this court appointed counsel to

represent him. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979)

25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, setting forth a statement of

the case and one potential arguable issue: whether the court sentenced him in accordance

with his plea bargain. Counsel has also requested that this court undertake a review of

the entire record.

                                            3
      We offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, which

he has not done.

      We have now concluded our independent review of the record, and we have found

no arguable issues.

                                   DISPOSITION

      The judgment is affirmed.
