INTRODUCTION
Defendant and appellant James Calzada appeals after the trial court found
defendant in violation of his parole supervision. 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, requesting this court to conduct an independent review of the record. In
addition, defendant has had an opportunity to file a supplemental brief with this court and
has not done so. We find no error and affirm the judgment.
II.
BACKGROUND
In September 2012, defendant was convicted of possession or manufacture of a
1
deadly weapon by a prisoner in violation of Penal Code section 4502, subdivision
(a)(1).{CT 4, 8} At the time, defendant was incarcerated in state prison following his
conviction for rape by force or fear (§ 261, subd. (a)) in March 2005.{CT 5, 8}
Defendant was paroled from state prison on January 28, 2019 on various terms and
conditions of his parole. Defendant’s parole was scheduled to expire or terminate on
May 5, 2022.{CT 4, 6}
After defendant violated the terms and conditions of his parole by absconding
from parole supervision and removing his electronic global positioning system (GPS)

monitoring device, on June 10, 2021 defendant was sentenced to county jail for 180
days.{CT 6-7, 9-15}
Defendant was released from county jail on September 22, 2021, and failed to
report to his parole officer at the Palm Springs Parole Office on September 23, 2021
(within one working day following his release as required by section 3010.10,
2
subdivision (a) and the terms and conditions of his parole).{CT 5} Defendant was
arrested the following day on September 24, 2021 for violating his parole by failing to
report for GPS monitoring.{CT 6}
On September 29, 2021, a petition to revoke defendant’s parole was filed. The
petition alleged that defendant failed to report for GPS monitoring in violation of the
terms and conditions of his release on parole and section 3010.10, subdivision (a).{CT 4-
16} Defendant denied the allegation, claiming that he did not have transportation and
believed that he had more time.{CT 6, 17}
A contested parole revocation hearing was held on October 29, 2021.{CT 20} At
that time, defendant’s parole officer testified that he supervised known registered sex
offenders, including defendant.{RT 7-9} Defendant’s parole officer explained that when
defendant was released on parole after his first parole violation, defendant was given, and
he signed, a notice and conditions of parole. Among other conditions, defendant was
2
Section 3010.10, subdivision (a) provides, in pertinent, part that “[a] person who
is required to register as a sex offender pursuant to section 290 as a condition of parole
shall report to his or her parole officer within one working day following release from
custody, or as instructed by a parole officer to have an electronic global positioning
system (GPS), or other monitoring device affixed to his or her person.”
3
required to report to his parole officer within 24 hours “on the first working day”
following his release.{RT 9-10, 13-14; CT 10} Defendant’s parole officer noted that due
to his prior 2005 rape conviction, defendant was subject to mandatory sex offender
registration and continuous GPS monitoring pursuant to sections 290 and 3010.10,
subdivision (a). The purpose of requiring such defendants to report within 24 hours after
release was to place a GPS monitoring device on them.{RT 9-10} Defendant’s parole
officer stated that defendant, as a sex offender, was to be supervised at a high-risk level
and was accountable for “every hour, every minute” while on parole.{RT 10}
Defendant’s parole officer also testified that after defendant was released from
custody on September 22, 2021, defendant was required to report to him at his officer the
following day under his notice and conditions of parole and by statute and that because of
his failure to report, a GPS monitoring device was not placed on defendant on September
23, 2021.{RT 10-12} Defendant’s parole officer noted that his parole office log-in or
sign-in sheets revealed that defendant failed to report to him or his office on September
23, 24, or 25, 2021, despite other parolees being able to sign in and report to their parole
3
agents at this office on these dates. {RT 10-11} Defendant’s parole officer concluded
that defendant’s failure to report to him or his parole office on September 23, 2021
constituted a violation of the sex offender registration requirements of section 3010.10
and defendant’s notice and conditions of his parole.{RT 11}
3
On September 24, 2021, defendant reported to another parole office, not his
assigned Palm Springs office.{RT 14; CT 6}
4
Following argument, the trial court found that defendant had violated the terms
and conditions of his parole supervision as alleged in the petition.{RT 18-20; CT 20}
Immediately thereafter, the court reinstated defendant’s parole supervision on the same
terms and conditions as previously imposed and ordered him to serve 180 days in county
jail.{RT 20-23; CT 20} Defendant timely appealed.{CT 22}
III.
DISCUSSION
After defendant appealed, upon his request, this court appointed counsel to
represent him on appeal. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v.
Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California, supra, 386 U.S. 738, setting forth
a statement of the case, a summary of the procedural background and potential arguable
issues, and requesting this court to conduct an independent review of the record.
As previously noted, we offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal
supplemental brief, and he has not done so.
An appellate court conducts a review of the entire record to determine whether the
record reveals any issues which, if resolved favorably to defendant, would result in
reversal or modification of the judgment. (People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at pp. 441-
442; People v. Feggans (1967) 67 Cal.2d 444, 447-448; Anders v. California, supra, 386
U.S. at p. 744; see People v. Johnson (1981) 123 Cal.App.3d 106, 109-112.)
Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have
independently reviewed the entire record for potential error and find no arguable error
5
that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant. We are satisfied that
appointed counsel fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable appellate
issues exist. (Ibid.; People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.)
