              On February 18, 2015, defendant Kyle Kurtis Elledge pleaded guilty to 10
counts, including one count of violating Penal Code section 487, subdivision (d)(2)
                                   1
(grand theft of a firearm; count 1). He also admitted he had suffered, inter alia, a prior
serious felony conviction. (§ 667, subd. (a)(1).)
              Defendant offered the following facts for his guilty plea: Around January
22, 2014, he unlawfully took another person’s firearm with the intent of permanently
depriving the person of the firearm. He unlawfully entered three storage units. He
unlawfully and willfully obtained personal identifying information of another person,
used it for an unlawful purpose, falsely and unlawfully personated that person, and did an
act that would make him liable to suit. He possessed a firearm despite having been
previously convicted of a felony. He unlawfully and falsely made and passed a contract
for money. He unlawfully entered a Wells Fargo Bank branch with the intent to commit
larceny and possessed burglary tools.
              In the “Proposed disposition” section of the plea form, defendant initialed
his agreement and understanding that the court would sentence him to prison for eight
years with total custody credit of 788 days.
              The court sentenced defendant to a total prison term of eight years, and
gave him credit for a total of 788 days.
              Defendant appealed the judgment, and we appointed counsel to represent
him. Counsel did not argue against defendant, but advised he was unable to find an issue
to argue on defendant’s behalf. Defendant was given an opportunity to file written
argument on his own behalf, but he did not do so.
