APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. Daviann L. Mitchell, Judge. Affirmed.
Alex Green, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
John Edward Wood was convicted by a jury of failing to update his sex offender registration within five days after moving into a residence. (Pen. Code, § 290.011, subd. (b).) In February of 2009, a kind woman took pity upon defendant, who was homeless, and permitted him to move into her house in Lancaster to escape the winter cold. He lived in her house until early May of 2010, but repeatedly told the sheriffs department sex offender registration technician that he remained a transient. Defendant admitted he had a prior "strike" conviction, and the trial court sentenced defendant to a second strike term of 6 years in prison.
Defendant promptly appealed. We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. After examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues and asking this court to independently review the record. On May 31, 2011, we advised defendant he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues he wished us to consider. To date, we have received no response.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that defendant's attorney 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 (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
