_______________
INTRODUCTION
Joseph Bradshaw pleaded no contest to one count of
attempted murder and one count of second degree robbery and
admitted a firearm allegation. The trial court sentenced him to
an aggregate prison term of 16 years. We appointed counsel to
represent Bradshaw on appeal. After reviewing the record,
appointed counsel for Bradshaw did not identify any arguable
issues. Nor, after reviewing the record, have we. Therefore, we
affirm.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
On September 7, 2020 Azhane Young was sitting in her car
with her boyfriend and her mother when she saw Bradshaw
watching her from his parked car. When Young drove out of the
parking lot, Bradshaw followed her. After Young dropped off her
mother, Bradshaw continued to follow her. When Young pulled
into a gas station to get away from Bradshaw, Bradshaw blocked
her car. Young told her boyfriend to get out of the car and leave
everything behind. Bradshaw, brandishing a firearm, took
Young’s purse from the glove compartment of the car.
On September 10, 2020 Marcus Brown was walking past
Bradshaw’s car when Bradshaw said something to him. As
Brown approached the driver’s side of the car, Bradshaw fired
multiple rounds at Brown, hitting him twice in the chest and
once in the mouth. After shooting Brown, Bradshaw drove away
at a high rate of speed. Brown survived.
On July 2, 2021 the People charged Bradshaw with various
crimes, including one count of attempted murder (Pen. Code,
2
§§ 187, subd. (a), 664) and one count of second degree robbery
(id., § 211). On September 19, 2022, after the trial court granted
the People’s motion to add an allegation Bradshaw personally
used a firearm (id., § 12022.5, subd. (a)), Bradshaw pleaded no
contest to attempted murder and second degree robbery and
admitted the firearm allegation. The trial court sentenced
Bradshaw to an aggregate prison term of 16 years.
DISCUSSION
After reviewing the record, counsel for Bradshaw filed an
opening brief raising no issues. On November 14, 2023 counsel
advised Bradshaw that he intended to file a brief raising no
issues and that Bradshaw had the right to file a supplemental
brief. Counsel also sent Bradshaw the appellate record and a
copy of the opening brief. On November 14, 2023 we advised
Bradshaw he had 30 days to submit a supplemental brief or letter
stating any grounds of an appeal, contentions, or arguments he
wanted us to consider. We have not received a response from
Bradshaw.
We have examined the record and are satisfied that
appellate counsel for Bradshaw has complied with his
responsibilities and that there are no arguable issues. (See
Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 277-284; People v. Kelly
(2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 118-119; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d
