DISCUSSION
After being evaluated for mental competency and found competent to stand trial,
defendant pled guilty in June 2019 to making criminal threats in violation of Penal Code
section 422. As part of the plea agreement, defendant was placed on felony probation
with mental health terms for 36 months. The court withheld imposition of the judgment
for 36 months.
In August 2019, defendant was terminated from two programs he was required by
his probation to participate in (Seeking Safety and Substance Abuse Education). That
month, he also telephoned his probation officer to say he had moved but did not follow
the officer’s direction to come in on or before a certain date to complete a change of
address form. In August and September, he failed to report to his probation officer. On
September 29, 2019, the People filed a petition to revoke defendant’s probation and to
obtain a warrant for his arrest.
Following another mental health evaluation that established defendant’s
competency, the court offered him three options: proceed in mental health court; have an
evidentiary hearing on the issue whether he violated his probation; or admit the violation
and serve 16 months in state prison. Defendant admitted the violation, and the court
sentenced him to the low term of 16 months in state prison, with 432 days credit (216 for
time served and 216 conduct credits).
Defendant appealed, and this court appointed counsel to represent him.

DISCUSSION
Defendant’s counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende
(1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S 738 setting forth
statements of the case and facts, and one potential arguable issue: whether the trial court
erred when it revoked defendant’s probation and sentenced him to the low term in state
prison. Counsel also posits this court is required to undertake a review of the entire
record.
We offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, which
he has not done.
Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have
conducted an independent review of the record and found no arguable issues.
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
