IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT (Shasta) ----

THE PEOPLE, C102652

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. 24P5652)

v.

COLTON JAMES ROOD,

Defendant and Appellant.

Appointed counsel for defendant Colton James Rood asks this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Finding none, we affirm the order revoking defendant’s parole. BACKGROUND In 2012, defendant was convicted of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14. (Pen. Code,1 § 288, subd. (a).) The trial court sentenced him to eight years in state prison. Defendant was released on parole in December 2023.

The program will require you to agree and sign necessary documents and waivers as well as polygraph examinations, limited to questions about the success of the sex offender treatment program, the crime(s) for which you were convicted, compliance with conditions of parole, sexual history and related criminal behavior past, present, [and/or] future.” Defendant refused to sign the conditions, but the parole agent required defendant to read them and verbally ensured defendant understood the conditions. Defendant was argumentative throughout most of this process. The social worker in charge of defendant’s mental health treatment testified she scheduled 10 meetings with defendant. Defendant attended two, missed five, and had two excused absences. One session was cancelled because defendant had been returned to custody. As to defendant’s participation in the sex offender program, the clinical director met with defendant. The clinical director asked defendant to fill out intake forms for the program. When the clinical director told defendant he had improperly filled out the forms, defendant said he was “unwilling or unable” to fill them out properly. Defendant wrote “under duress” and “under threat of violence and incarceration” on the forms because he wanted to appeal his case, he did not commit his crime, and he believed that
