COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION ONE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THE PEOPLE, D065955
Plaintiff and Respondent,
v. (Super. Ct. No. SCD250339)
NELSON BRADFORD STIEGMAN,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County,
Timothy R. Walsh, Judge. Affirmed.
Patrick J. Hennessey, Jr., under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for
Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance by Plaintiff and Respondent.
Nelson Bradford Stiegman entered into a plea agreement. Pursuant to the plea
agreement Stiegman pleaded guilty to three counts of assault with force likely to produce
great bodily injury (Pen. Code,1 § 245, subd. (a)(4)). Stiegman also admitted personally

inflicting great bodily injury during the commission of the offenses (§ 12022.7,
subd. (b)). In return for his admissions Stiegman was promised a stipulated sentence of
seven years in prison.
Stiegman was sentenced to the low term of two years on count 3 plus a
consecutive five-year term for the great bodily injury enhancement for a total of seven
years. Concurrent sentences were imposed on the remaining counts. The court awarded
241 days of custody and conduct credits consistent with the probation officer's
recommendations.
Stiegman filed a timely notice of appeal and obtained a certificate of probable
cause from the trial court. (§ 1237.5.)
Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25
Cal. 3d 436 (Wende), indicating he has not been able to find any reasonably arguable
issues for reversal on appeal. Counsel requests this court to review the record for error as
required by Wende. We offered Stiegman the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal
but he has not responded.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
In his guilty plea Stiegman admitted assaulting three separate people with force
likely to cause great bodily injury. He also admitted that he personally inflicted great
bodily injury on each of the victims.
DISCUSSION
As we have previously noted, appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to
Wende, supra, 25 Cal. 3d 436. Pursuant to Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738
2
(Anders), counsel has identified possible but not reasonably arguable issues for reversal
to aid the court in its review of the record:
1. Whether Stiegman was sentenced in accordance with the plea agreement?
2. Whether Stiegman was given all custody and conduct credits to which he was
entitled?
We have reviewed the entire record in accordance with Wende, supra, 25 Cal. 3d
436 and Anders, supra, 386 U.S. 738. We have been unable to find any reasonably
arguable issue for reversal on appeal. Competent counsel has represented Stiegman on
this appeal.
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
