COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION ONE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THE PEOPLE, D084560
Plaintiff and Respondent,
v. (Super. Ct. No. SCD302406)
TRAVIS SPENCER BARNETT,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Aaron H. Katz, Judge. Affirmed. Laura Arnold, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
A jury convicted Travis Spencer Barnett of one count of battery with serious bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 243, subd. (d); count 1) and two counts of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury (id., § 245,
subd. (a)(4); counts 2 & 3).1 With respect to counts 1 and 2, the jury also found true allegations that Barnett personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim within the meaning of section 1192.7, subdivision (c)(8) and section 12022.7, subdivision (a), respectively. After trial, Barnett admitted a strike prior allegation and serious prior felony allegation. The trial court also revoked Barnett’s probation in a separate case in which he had entered a guilty plea. The court sentenced Barnett to a total prison term of 12 years and four months. Barnett appealed, and his court-appointed counsel filed a brief raising no issues but seeking our independent review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders). We informed Barnett of his right to file a supplemental brief under Wende and Anders, but he did not respond. Based on our independent review of the record, we find no reasonably arguable appellate issues and affirm the judgment. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND In December 2023, Barnett was incarcerated in the San Diego Central Jail in a cell with two other inmates, M.B. and D.S. M.B. testified at trial that Barnett’s bunk was directly above his. On the morning of December 24, 2023, while M.B. was changing his clothes in his bunk, he bumped against Barnett’s bunk, disturbing Barnett. Shortly after, Barnett kicked M.B. in the face, causing his nose and lips to bleed. M.B. pressed the call button to summon the jail deputies. M.B. was taken to the medical bay, where he was cleaned up and given ice for his injuries.
