What are the implications of the Court of Appeal's decision to dismiss the Motion of Appeal against the Sentencing of convicted rapist, convicted of assault and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life?

As we have noted, appellate counsel has filed a Wende brief and asks this court to review the record as mandated by Wende. To assist this court in its review of the record, and in compliance with Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), counsel has identified two possible issues that he considered in evaluating the merits of this appeal:

1. On remand, did the trial court err in declining to strike the "strike" priors; and

2. Did the trial court err in resentencing Perez to 25 years to life under the "Three Strikes" law.
