Opinion


THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. JODIE LYNN TALK, Defendant and Appellant. C057779 California Court of Appeal, Third District, Butte October 21, 2008

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

Sup.Ct.No. CM027454

MORRISON, J.

Defendant Jodie Lynn Talk drove a van head on into a car parked in front of a gas pump. One of the victims, Dana Wingo, related there was considerable animosity between her and defendant due to defendant’s jealousy over her boyfriend. Wingo’s boyfriend was getting ready to pump gas when defendant’s van struck the car.

Defendant pleaded no contest to assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)). The court sentenced defendant to a middle term of three years, imposed various fines and fees, and awarded 85 days credit (57 days local time and 28 days conduct).

The court also imposed a concurrent one-year term for defendant’s conviction of misdemeanor battery (Pen. Code, § 243, subd. (e)(1)) in an unrelated case.

Having failed to obtain a certificate of probable cause, defendant appeals.

We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case and requests this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed, and we received no communication from defendant.

Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no arguable error in favor of defendant.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed

We concur: SIMS , Acting P.J., RAYE , J.
