Opinion
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE OFFICIAL REPORTS
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County No. NA068531, Arthur Jean, Jr., Judge.
Rachel Lederman, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
VOGEL, Acting P.J.
In November 2006, Johnny Williams pled no contest to one count of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)) based on his December 2005 attack on a woman (he smashed phones, a television, and a computer, tried to rape her, then hit her on the head with a vodka bottle, knocking her out). Williams was sentenced to state prison for a term of two years and ordered to pay restitution. He obtained a certificate of probable cause, filed a notice of appeal, and we appointed counsel to represent him.
Williams was charged with assault with intent to commit rape, attempted forcible rape, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury, false imprisonment by violence, petty theft, and felony vandalism. (Pen. Code, §§ 220, 664, 261, subd. (a)(2), 236, 484, subd. (a), 594, subd. (a).)
On October 24, 2007, Williams’s lawyer filed a brief in which no issues were raised, and we then notified Williams that he could submit any issues he wanted us to consider. He did not respond. We have independently reviewed the record and are satisfied that Williams’s appointed counsel has fulfilled her duty, and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106.)
The judgment is affirmed.
We concur: ROTHSCHILD, J., JACKSON, J.
Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court, assigned by the Chief Justice pursuant to article VI, section 6 of the California Constitution.
