-ooOoo-

Appointed counsel for defendant Gregg Jordan asked this court to review the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was advised of his right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed and we received no communication from defendant. Finding no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant, we affirm.

We provide the following brief description of the facts and procedural history of the case. (See People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110, 124.)

Defendant and his wife adopted the victim when she was six years old. While the victim was between eight and 13 years old, defendant sexually abused her when his wife was not at home.

On February 24, 2017, defendant was charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child (Pen. Code, § 288.5, subd. (a); count 1), oral copulation of a person under 14 years of age (§ 288a, subd. (c)(1); count 2), sexual penetration of a person under 14 years of age (§ 289, subd. (j); count 3), sexual battery (§ 243.4, subd. (e)(1); count 4), dissuading a witness (§ 136.1, subd. (b)(1); count 5), and disobeying a protective order (§ 273.6, subd. (a); count 6).

On January 11, 2018, defendant pled guilty to count 1 in return for a 12-year lid (the midterm) and dismissal of the remaining counts.

On March 2, 2018, defendant submitted a sentencing memorandum and statement in mitigation, arguing that imposition of the mitigated term of six years was appropriate. The document included a report prepared by a psychiatrist at defense counsel’s request.

On March 7, 2018, the trial court sentenced defendant to 12 years in prison, granted custody credits, and imposed various fines and fees.

On May 1, 2018, defendant filed a notice of appeal.

Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no evidence of ineffective assistance of counsel or any other arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.

The judgment is affirmed.
