Plaintiff and Respondent,

v. (Super. Ct. Nos. SCN446291, SCN428244) ANTHONY ALLEN PETRUNGARO,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from judgments of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Daniel F. Link, Judge. Affirmed. Laura Arnold, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent. Anthony Allen Petrungaro appeals from his convictions in two cases. After we consolidated the matters, Petrungaro’s appointed appellate counsel filed an opening brief raising no arguable issues pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). Petrungaro did not file a supplemental brief on his own behalf. Our independent review confirms there are no arguable issues on appeal. We therefore affirm the convictions.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND On February 14, 2022, Petrungaro pleaded guilty to possessing a

firearm as a felon (Pen. Code,1 § 29800, subd. (a)(1)) in Superior Court case number SCN428244 (SCN 428244). On March 15, 2022, the trial court suspended imposition of Petrungaro’s sentence and imposed two years of formal probation. On August 3, 2023, Tina Moore called 911 to report Petrungaro attempting to get inside her motorhome. Petrungaro eventually tore the motorhome’s door off its hinges and entered. According to Ms. Moore, she was still speaking to the 911 operator when Petrungaro took her phone and broke it over his knee. John Moore, the owner of the property where Ms. Moore’s motorhome

was located, confronted Petrungaro.2 Petrungaro punched Mr. Moore in the head twice, causing Mr. Moore to fall to the ground. Petrungaro then kicked Mr. Moore and stomped on his head. Mr. Moore suffered a laceration to his chin requiring five stitches, and his left eye was swollen shut causing him to miss a few days of work. Mr. Moore also reported losing consciousness during the attack and seeing black dots and color flashes in his left eye after the attack. Christina Brown, Mr. Moore’s girlfriend, intervened during the assault. Brown heard Petrungaro saying, “ ‘You’re dead. You’re dead,’ ” and accusing Mr. Moore of sleeping with Petrungaro’s wife. Brown sprayed Petrungaro with pepper spray, and he left the property.
