IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

THE PEOPLE, B346994

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County
Super. Ct. No. 25PSCF00093)
v.

EILEEN CHRISTINE MONTOYA,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of
Los Angeles County, Mike Camacho, Judge. Affirmed.
Jennifer Peabody and Richard B. Lennon, under
appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and
Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

Eileen Christine Montoya took property from a Union
Pacific railroad car. She pleaded no contest to receiving stolen
property and was sentenced to 16 months in prison concurrent to
a two-year term she was serving for another conviction.
Montoya obtained no certificate of probable cause but filed
a notice of appeal in which she alleged that the presentence
credits awarded her were wrong because when she pleaded no
contest she understood that the presentence credits in both cases
would be combined.
We appointed counsel to represent Montoya. After
examining the record, counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v.
Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) raising no issues and
asking us to independently review the record. We sent letters
to Montoya and appointed counsel, directing counsel to forward
the appellate record and brief to Montoya and advising her she
had 30 days to personally submit any contentions or issues she
wished us to consider. Montoya did not respond.
After reviewing the record, we conclude appellate counsel
complied with the responsibilities set forth in Wende and
People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106 and find there are no
arguable issues.
