THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. ANTUAN LAMAR NORWOOD, Defendant and Appellant.
Alan Mason, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
Not to be Published in Official Reports
Antuan Norwood was convicted by jury of felonious assault arising from an incident on April 24, 2008, during which defendant approached a man who was standing next to a car parked outside the Magic Carpet Bar in Gardena, knocked him down with a closed fist, and kicked the man at least three times while he was on the ground. Defendant admitted that he was on bail at the time of the offense. He was sentenced to a total term of four years in state prison.
Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal and we appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441-442.) We then sent letters to defendant and appointed counsel, directing counsel to immediately forward the appellate record to defendant and notifying defendant that within 30 days he could personally submit any contentions or issues that he wished us to consider. To date, no response has been received.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that defendants counsel has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 109-110; People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.)

The judgment is affirmed.
