THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. TERRENCE GERALD JOHNS, Defendant and Appellant.
Defendant, Terrence Gerald Johns, was charged with crimes in two separate cases in Santa Clara County Superior Court. In case number CC060298, an amended information filed on April 27, 2000, charged defendant with two counts of grand theft in violation of Penal Code section 487, subdivision (a)) and one count of attempted extortion in violation of Penal Code section 524.
In case number 210590, an indictment was filed on October 13, 2000, charged defendant with 13 counts of forgery (Pen. Code, § 470, subd. (a)) and one count of grand theft (Pen. Code, § 487). The two cases were consolidated on November 3, 2000.
On November 6, 2000, defendant pleaded no contest to three counts of grand theft and one count of forgery in exchange for the agreement that the remaining counts would be dismissed.
On September 18, 2001, defendant was placed on probation for five years on condition that he serve time in the county jail and pay restitution, in addition to the usual probationary terms such as reporting to a probation officer, seeking and maintaining gainful employment, etc.
It was subsequently alleged that defendant had failed to comply with the terms of probation in that he failed to report to his probation officer, failed to seek employment, failed to pay the restitution fine ordered by the court, and failed to pay victim restitution.
On August 19, 2002, defendant had admitted he had violated probation. The court revoked probation and sentenced defendant to prison.
Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal on October 17, 2002. We appointed counsel to represent the defendant in this court.
Appointed counsel filed an opening brief which states the case and the facts but raises no specific issues. We notified defendant of his right to submit written argument in his own behalf within 30 days. That period has elapsed and we have received no written argument from defendant.
Pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 158 Cal. Rptr. 839, 600 P.2d 1071, we have reviewed the entire record and have concluded that there is no arguable issue on appeal.
The judgment is affirmed.
