I.
INTRODUCTION
Daniel Wilson pled guilty to one count of stalking with a court order in effect, in
violation of Penal Code1 section 646.9, subdivision (b), pursuant to a stipulated plea
agreement. The trial court sentenced Wilson to formal probation, ordered him to serve
365 days in local custody, permitted him to be released immediately to participate in a
residential treatment program, and ordered that upon Wilson's successful completion of a
residential treatment program, the balance of Wilson's custody time would be deemed
satisfied. Appointed appellate counsel filed a brief presenting no argument for reversal,
but inviting this court to review the record for error in accordance with People v. Wende
(1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). We affirm.
II.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
Wilson was charged with three related domestic violence charges, alleged to have
occurred between April 14 and May 14, 2015, against Nancy A, including one count of
stalking with a court order in effect (§ 646.9, subd. (b); count 1), one count of making a
criminal threat (§ 422; count 2), and one count of corporal injury to a spouse and/or
roommate (§ 273.5, subd. (a); count 3).
Wilson pled guilty to count 1, pursuant to a plea agreement, on September 15,
2015. The other charges were dismissed. The stipulated plea agreement called for

Wilson to be sentenced to two years in state prison, with execution of that sentence
suspended. According to the terms of the plea agreement, Wilson would be placed on
probation, be required to serve 365 days in local custody, but would be deemed
"releasable" to a representative of the public defender's office or a representative of a
residential treatment program at any time after his sentencing, and would be required to
successfully complete a residential treatment program. Any remaining balance of the
custody time would be deemed satisfied by successful completion of the treatment
program.
Wilson was sentenced consistent with the plea agreement. He received 97 actual
days credit, and 96 days good time credit. At sentencing, Wilson's attorney objected to a
probation condition listed under paragraph No. 14, which provided:
"Do not remain in the presence of any person who you know
illegally possesses a firearm, deadly weapon, or ammunition. Also,
do not remain in a building, in a vehicle, or in the presence of any
person when you knowingly have ready access to a firearm,
regardless of whether it is lawfully possessed or was lawfully
acquired."
In response to the court's inquiry after hearing defense counsel's objection to this
probation condition, the probation officer informed the trial court that the language of the
proposed probation condition was taken verbatim from People v. Forrest (2015) 237
Cal.App.4th 1074. The trial court imposed the condition, over Wilson's objection.

DISCUSSION
Wilson's appellate counsel has filed a brief, pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d
436, in which counsel raises no issues on appeal and requests that we independently
review the record. Counsel has identified the following issue that "might arguably
support the appeal" (Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, 744): " 'Did the court
err[ ] in imposing probation condition 14(a) over the objection of appellant namely that
he ["]not remain in the presence of any person who you know illegally possesses a
firearm, deadly weapon, or ammunition. Also, do not remain in a building, in a vehicle,
or in the presence of any person when you knowingly have ready access to a firearm,
regardless of whether it is lawfully possessed or was [ ]lawfully acquired.["] ' "
On April 18, 2016, we sent a letter to Wilson informing him that his attorney had
filed a brief pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436, and offering Wilson 30 days to
submit by letter or brief any ground of appeal, contention or argument that he wished us
to consider. We did not receive a response from him.2
A review of the record pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v.
California, supra, 386 U.S. 738, including the issues referred to by appellate counsel, has
disclosed no reasonably arguable appellate issues.
2 We sent our letter to Wilson at his address of record in this court. The letter was
returned as undeliverable. Wilson has not provided this court with an updated address.
