INTRODUCTION
Appellant Gerald Lynn Jackson pled no contest to three crimes in three separate cases, and was placed on formal probation in each case. After being arrested for committing another crime, the trial court found that Jackson had violated the terms of his probation and sentenced Jackson to five years in prison on one of the convictions. He appealed.
Jackson's appointed counsel filed a brief requesting that we independently review the record for error under People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). Jackson did not file a supplemental brief. We have conducted an independent examination of the entire record and conclude that no arguable issues exist. We therefore affirm.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
On June 1, 2021, in Superior Court case no. YA102942, Jackson pled no contest to violations of Health and Safety Code sections 11351 and 11378, possession of controlled substances for sale. The trial court suspended imposition of a sentence and placed Jackson on two years' formal probation. On August 11, 2022, in Superior Court case no. BA507199, Jackson pled no contest to a violation of Penal Code section 487, subdivision (a), grand theft. The trial court suspended imposition of a sentence and placed Jackson on two years' formal probation. On November 3, 2022, in Superior Court case no. BA507999, Jackson pled no contest to a violation of Penal Code section 425, subdivision (a), carjacking. The trial court again suspended imposition of a sentence, and placed Jackson on three years' formal probation.
Jackson's probation was revoked on April 11, 2023 following the filing of a new criminal case against him in Superior Court case no. BA513913. At a probation violation hearing on June 30, 2023, the People presented evidence that Jackson and two other people entered a shoe store, put approximately $1,300 worth of merchandise into tote bags, and walked out of the store without paying. Jackson was arrested as he left the store.
The trial court found that Jackson had violated his probation in all three cases by failing to obey all laws. The trial court terminated probation in all three cases, and sentenced Jackson to the midterm of five years for the carjacking conviction in case no. BA507999.
Jackson timely appealed in the three cases, YA102942, BA507199, and BA507999.
DISCUSSION
As noted above, Jackson's appointed counsel filed a brief requesting that we independently review the record for error under (Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.) We directed counsel to send the record and a copy of the brief to Jackson, and notified Jackson of his right to respond within 30 days. We have received no response.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied no arguable issues exist in the appeal before us. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 278; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110; Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 443.)
DISPOSITION
The judgments are affirmed.
We concur: CURREY, P.J. ZUKIN, J.
