FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION FOUR

THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, A166838

v. (San Mateo County Super. Ct. MICHAEL LAWRENCE ROBERTS, No. 22-SF-000551-A) Defendant and Appellant.

Michael Lawrence Roberts appeals from his sentence of two years in state prison after a contested probation revocation hearing. Roberts’s appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), summarizing the facts and procedural history and requesting this court to independently review the record to identify any issues warranting review. Roberts was advised of his right to file a supplemental brief but has not done so. Finding no arguable issues on appeal, we affirm. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND On October 21, 2022, the trial court held a contested probation revocation hearing in Case No. 22-SF-000551-A. During the hearing, the trial court took judicial notice of three misdemeanor convictions (two violations of Health and Safety Code section 11364 (counts one and three) 1

and one violation of Health and Safety Code section 11377, subdivision (a) (count two)) entered against Roberts on October 17, 2022, in Case No. 22-SM- 009458-A.1 On the basis of the three misdemeanor convictions, the trial court found Roberts in violation of the terms and conditions of his probation in Case No. 22-SF-000551-A, which included an order to obey all laws. The trial court terminated Roberts’s probation and sentenced him to the mitigated term of two years in state prison on the underlying violation of Penal Code section 245, subdivision (a)(4). The trial court awarded Roberts 179 days of credit for time served and 178 days of conduct credit for a total of 357 days of credit. On December 12, 2022, Roberts filed a timely notice of appeal. DISCUSSION Roberts’s counsel filed a Wende brief on May 31, 2024. We have received no supplemental filing by Roberts. Roberts’s notice of appeal is from an order revoking his probation and therefore is appealable as an order made after judgment affecting his substantial rights. (Pen. Code, § 1237, subd. (b); People v. Vickers (1972) 8 Cal.3d 451, 453, fn. 2.) The trial court’s probation hearing and sentence were appropriately supported by the evidence and without any indication of an abuse of discretion. After reviewing the entire record on appeal pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436, we find no issues
