THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. JOSHUA WILLIAMS, Defendant and Appellant.
Not to be Published in Official Reports
On June 20, 2005, in case SCE241164, Joshua Williams pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender (Pen. Code, section 290, subdivision (g)(2)) and in case SCE249968 he pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm (Pen. Code, section 12021, subdivision (a)(1)). On July 21, 2005, Judge Herbert J. Exarhos placed appellant on probation in both cases. Among the terms of probation was that appellant obey all laws and concurrently serve 365 days in custody with 123 days of credit.
On August 20, 2007, Williams admitted he violated his probation by using drugs and the court revoked probation in both cases. On September 10, 2007, appellant waived his past Penal Code section 4019 credits and Judge Exarhos reinstated probation. On July 24, 2008, appellant admitted he violated the terms of his probation because of a positive drug test for marijuana. Judge Peter C. Deddeh revoked probation in both cases and sentenced Williams to two years in prison in both cases, with the sentences to be served concurrently. Williams did not obtain a certificate of probable cause concerning his admitted probation violations.
FACTS
Concerning the failure to register violation (Case SCE241164), an El Cajon police officer assigned to check on several sex registrants in El Cajon in June 2004, spoke to appellants apartment manager and learned that Williams had been evicted from his apartment in March 2004. The officer later learned that Williams had not provided an updated address as required by his status as a sex registrant. An arrest warrant issued in the case.
Concerning the felon in possession of a firearm violation (Case SCE249968), on March 30, 2005, El Cajon police officers responded to a domestic violence call in which the reporting party indicated that a female was heard yelling "put the Glock down." Shortly after arrival, the officers learned of arrest warrants pending for Williams and of the presence of weapons in the apartment. Officers located a sawed-off shotgun and a Glock handgun in the headboard of appellants bedroom. Three years before this incident, in May 2002, Williams was convicted of a felony.
DISCUSSION
Appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief setting forth evidence in the superior court. Counsel presents no argument for reversal but asks that this court review the record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738. We granted Williams permission to file a brief on his own behalf. He has not responded.
A review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California, supra, 386 U.S. 738 has disclosed no reasonably arguable appellate issues. Competent counsel has represented Williams on this appeal.
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
