THE PEOPLE, C078877
Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. S07CRF0275)
v.
KONOLUS IRWIN SMITH,
Defendant and Appellant.
Defendant Konolus Irwin Smith was sentenced on February 4, 2008, to two
concurrent terms of 25 years to life on convictions of corporal injury to a spouse or
cohabitant and making criminal threats. The judgment was affirmed on appeal and
remittitur issued on September 14, 2009.1 Thereafter, on February 2, 2015, defendant
filed a motion in the trial court seeking a reduction of his $10,000 restitution fine based

on his alleged inability to pay. The trial court denied the motion, noting defendant could
have, but did not, raise the issue in his previous appeal.2 Defendant appeals.
Counsel for defendant filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case
and asks this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable
issues on appeal.3 (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Having undertaken an
examination of the entire record, we find no arguable error that would result in a
disposition more favorable to defendant.
DISPOSITION
The trial court’s order is affirmed.

days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed, and we
received no communication from defendant.
