OPINION

THE COURT

Before Vartabedian, Acting P.J., Levy, J., and Cornell, J.

C.B. shared an apartment with appellant, Markus Deon Johnson. On July 18, 2008, she locked the door after Johnson walked out of the apartment. When Johnson returned, he became angry and began pounding on the door. After C.B. let Johnson in, Johnson began choking her causing her to lose consciousness, fall, and strike her head on the ground. Johnson then got on top of her and continued choking her. Officers soon arrived and arrested Johnson.

On July 21, 2008, the district attorney filed a complaint charging Johnson with inflicting corporal injury on a cohabitant (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a)).

On July 30, 2008, Johnson pled no contest to the charged offense in exchange for a promise of no initial state prison time.

On August 27, 2008, the court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Johnson on probation for three years with credit for 13 days served.

Johnson’s appellate counsel has filed a brief which summarizes the facts, with citations to the record, raises no issues, and asks this court to independently review the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Johnson has not responded to this court’s invitation to submit additional briefing.

Following independent review of the record we find that no reasonably arguable factual or legal issues exist.

The judgment is affirmed.
