IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION FIVE

THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, A171879 v. (San Mateo County Super. Ct. No. JAMES PATRICK NUNN, 24-SF-005777-A) Defendant and Appellant.

James Patrick Nunn filed this appeal after pleading nolo contendere to failing to register as a sex offender under Penal Code section 290.011, subdivision (b).1 His appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief raising no issues but seeking our review pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Our independent review of the record reveals no arguable issues, so we affirm.

BACKGROUND

A.

Section 290.011, subdivision (a), requires that a person with a prior conviction for a sex offense who is living as a “transient” must register with law enforcement in the city or county where the person is present every 30 days. (See also §

290, subd. (c).) As relevant here, if such a transient person moves to a “residence,” the person must register with the chief of police of the city in which the person is residing within five working days. (§§ 290.011, subd. (b), 290, subd. (b).) A transient is “a person who has no residence.” (§ 290.011, subd. (g).) A residence is defined as “one or more addresses at which a person regularly resides, regardless of the number of days or nights spent there, such as a shelter or structure that can be located by a street address, including, but not limited to, houses, apartment buildings, motels, hotels, homeless shelters, and recreational and other vehicles.” (Ibid.) A person required to register based on a felony conviction who willfully violates the registration requirements is guilty of a felony. (§ 290.018, subd. (b).)
