(Super. Ct. No. SCN290287)

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Adrienne A. Orfield, Judge. Affirmed.

Jared G. Coleman, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

No appearance by Respondent.

In October 2011, Charlotte May pled guilty to possessing a firearm within 10 years of being convicted of violating Penal Code section 422 (criminal threats) (§ 12021, subd. (c)(1)). On March14, 2012, the court reduced the offense to a misdemeanor and sentenced May to probation.

All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise specified.

On June 28, 2012, May admitted violating probation. The court reinstated probation on modified terms and conditions.

May filed a timely notice of appeal. May did not obtain a certificate of probable cause.

Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders) raising possible but not arguable issues. We offered May the opportunity to file her own brief on appeal but she has not responded.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

The facts of the underlying offense are not relevant to this appeal. The "facts" of this appeal relate to the terms of the grant of probation and the original probation order and the acts leading to violation of probation.

The March 2012 grant of probation required that May not violate any laws except minor traffic offenses. In June 2012, May pled guilty to driving on a suspended license (Veh. Code, § 14601.1, subd. (a)), a misdemeanor.

DISCUSSION

As we have previously noted, appellate counsel has filed a brief indicating he is unable to identify any arguments for reversal and asks this court to review the record for error as mandated by Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436. Pursuant to Anders, supra, 386 U.S. 738, the brief identifies the possible, but not arguable issue:

1. Whether this appeal is proper without obtaining a certificate of probable cause?

We have reviewed the entire record in accordance with Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders, supra, 386 U.S. 738 and have not found any reasonably arguable appellate issues. Competent counsel has represented May on this appeal.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.

HUFFMAN, J. WE CONCUR:

BENKE, Acting P. J.
