Noah Bernal appeals the judgment entered after a jury convicted him of attempted murder (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 664), assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)). The jury also found true allegations that appellant personally inflicted great bodily injury in committing the offenses (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)) and used a deadly weapon in committing the attempted murder (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)). The trial court sentenced him to nine years in state prison.

On August 29, 2017, Oxnard police officers responded to a residence in response to a report of an individual with a knife wound to his throat. The victim, appellant's father Roehl Ebdane, told the police he had stabbed himself and denied that appellant had done it. As Ebdane was being treated at the hospital, he told a mental health nurse that he was in bed sleeping when appellant grabbed him by the hair and stabbed him in the neck. Appellant's mother told the police that appellant "suddenly did something to his father" as he was sleeping and that he "had a pocket knife" and "seemed" to "cut [his] neck." Appellant told the police that Ebdane was hurting appellant's mother and that he stabbed Ebdane in self-defense.
We appointed counsel to represent appellant in this appeal. After counsel's examination of the record, she filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised. On November 1, 2018, we advised appellant that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues he wished us to consider. No response has been received.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that appellant's attorney has fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 443; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 126.)
The judgment is affirmed.
