No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
KRIEGLER, J.
Defendant and appellant Michael Anthony Clark pled guilty to a charge of failing to file a change of address in violation of Penal Code section 190.013, subdivision (b). Defendant admitted suffering four prior convictions under the three strikes law. (Pen. Code, §§ 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d) and 667, subds. (b)-(i).) The trial court struck three of the four prior convictions and imposed a second strike sentence of eight years. Defendant filed a notice of appeal and obtained a certificate of probable cause from the trial court.
According to the preliminary hearing transcript, defendant was released on parole on June 3, 2008. Defendant was a convicted sex offender who was required to register with law enforcement pursuant to Penal Code section 290 by June 11, 2008. He had last registered on April 12, 2007. Defendant absconded from parole without registering as a sex offender. He was interviewed in custody on July 29, 2008, at which time he admitted he had failed to register as required.
This court appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. On July 14, 2009, counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, raising no issues but requesting this court to independently review the record for error. Defendant was notified by letter, dated July 15, 2009, of his right to file a supplemental brief raising any arguable issues on appeal within 30 days. No brief has been filed by defendant.
This court has completed its independent review of the record. There are no arguable issues on appeal. The judgment is affirmed. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259.)
