COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION ONE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THE PEOPLE, D062973
Plaintiff and Respondent,
v. (Super. Ct. No. SCN290287)
CHARLOTTE MAY,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County,
Adrienne A. Orfield, Judge. Affirmed.
Jared G. Coleman, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and
Appellant.
No appearance by Respondent.
In October 2011, Charlotte May pled guilty to possessing a firearm within 10
years of being convicted of violating Penal Code1 section 422 (criminal threats)
1 All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise specified.
(§ 12021, subd. (c)(1)). On March14, 2012, the court reduced the offense to a
misdemeanor and sentenced May to probation.
On June 28, 2012, May admitted violating probation. The court reinstated
probation on modified terms and conditions.
May filed a timely notice of appeal. May did not obtain a certificate of probable
cause.
Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and
Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders) raising possible but not arguable
issues. We offered May the opportunity to file her own brief on appeal but she has not
responded.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
The facts of the underlying offense are not relevant to this appeal. The "facts" of
this appeal relate to the terms of the grant of probation and the original probation order
and the acts leading to violation of probation.
The March 2012 grant of probation required that May not violate any laws except
minor traffic offenses. In June 2012, May pled guilty to driving on a suspended license
(Veh. Code, § 14601.1, subd. (a)), a misdemeanor.
DISCUSSION
As we have previously noted, appellate counsel has filed a brief indicating he is
unable to identify any arguments for reversal and asks this court to review the record for
error as mandated by Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436. Pursuant to Anders, supra, 386 U.S.
738, the brief identifies the possible, but not arguable issue:
2
1. Whether this appeal is proper without obtaining a certificate of probable cause?
We have reviewed the entire record in accordance with Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d
436 and Anders, supra, 386 U.S. 738 and have not found any reasonably arguable
appellate issues. Competent counsel has represented May on this appeal.
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
