THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. FRANCISCO DANIEL GUZMAN, Defendant and Appellant.
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE OFFICIAL REPORTS
Francsico Daniel Guzman appeals his conviction, by jury, of fourteen counts of oral copulation with Karla G., a child under 10 years of age (Pen.Code, § 288.7, subd. (b)),1 one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with the same child (§ 288.7, subd. (a)), three counts of lewd acts upon the same child (§ 288, subd. (a)), one count of oral copulation with Karina P., a child under 10 years of age (Pen.Code, § 288.7, subd. (b)), one count of lewd acts upon Karina P. (§ 288, subd. (a)), and one count of possession of child pornography. (§ 311.11, subd. (a).) The jury also found true special allegations that four of the offenses were committed against more than one victim. (§ 667.61, subds.(c)-(e).) In addition to the testimony of the children, a sexual assault nurse and law enforcement, photographs and video recovered from appellant's personal cameras and computers documented (and, with respect to the child pornography count, constituted) each offense. The trial court sentenced appellant to a total indeterminate term of 280 years to life with actual custody credits of 390 days.
Appellant's appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, setting forth the facts of the case and requesting that we review the entire record on appeal, but raising no specific issue. On June 22, 2011, we directed counsel to forward of copy of the opening brief and the record on appeal to appellant immediately. We further notified appellant of his right to file within 30 days a supplemental brief or letter raising any grounds of appeal, contentions or arguments he wished us to consider. No response has been received. We have reviewed the entire record and have not found any arguable issue.
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED.
We concur:
Charles W. Campbell, Judge
Superior Court County of Ventura
Linda C. Rush, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance for Respondent.
