IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION FIVE

THE PEOPLE, B337326

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. TA157781) v.

LUIS ROMAN DEHARO,

Defendant and Appellant.

Luis Roman Deharo (defendant) appeals from a trial court judgment executing a previously imposed but suspended three- year prison sentence, after the court found he violated the terms of his probation. Defendant’s appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), raising no issues. On May 6, 2025, we sent defendant a letter notifying him of his counsel’s brief and gave him leave to file, within 30 days, his own brief or letter stating any grounds or argument he might wish to have considered. That time has elapsed, and defendant has submitted no brief or letter. We have

reviewed the entire record and, finding no arguable issues, affirm the judgment. In February 2022, defendant’s wife obtained a civil restraining order against defendant, protecting herself and her children in part because defendant had threatened to kill her in the presence of her children.1 Over the course of six months straddling the issuance of the restraining order, defendant broke the side mirrors on her car, followed her home after she dropped their children at school, pushed her on the shoulder causing her to step backwards, came to her house and knocked on the front door, and sent her threatening text messages. The harassment culminated in June 2022 when defendant threw a rock that shattered a window of her apartment, and yelled at her from the sidewalk. On August 24, 2022, the People charged defendant with (1) stalking (Pen. Code, § 646.9, subd. (a))2 and also alleged that defendant had been subject to a temporary restraining order prohibiting such conduct (Id., subd. (b)); (2) criminal threats (§ 422, subd. (a)); (3) misdemeanor battery on a spouse (§ 243, subd. (e)(1)); and (4) misdemeanor vandalism (§ 594, subd. (a).) On January 4, 2023, pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant pled no contest to the felony stalking charge and admitted the allegation related to that charge. The trial court imposed a three-year prison sentence and suspended execution of that sentence and placed defendant on four years of
