IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION THREE

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent, G063829

v. (Super. Ct. No. 21NF2285)

ALEN SABAH ODISHO, OPINION

Defendant and Appellant.

Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court of Orange County, Julian W. Bailey, Judge. Affirmed. Matthew Johnson, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Rob Bonta, Attorney General, Lance E. Winters, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Charles C. Ragland, Assistant Attorney General, Arlene A. Sevidal, Randall D. Einhorn, and Jon S. Tangonan, Deputy Attorneys General, for Plaintiff and Respondent.

This appeal started as a standard Wende appeal that appointed counsel filed on behalf of defendant Alen Sabah Odisho. (See People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) After receiving additional briefing on whether the trial court correctly calculated Odisho’s presentence credits, we ordered the court to conduct a hearing on that issue. At the hearing, the court modified Odisho’s credits pursuant to the parties’ stipulation. As so modified, we affirm the judgment. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND In February 2022, Odisho pleaded guilty to unlawfully taking a vehicle, receiving stolen property, and possessing a controlled substance. He was placed on two years of probation. The following year, Odisho violated the terms of his probation and was sentenced to two years in jail. The trial court awarded him credit for 331 days of actual custody, plus 331 days for good behavior, for a total of 662 days of presentence credit. Odisho filed this appeal. In his notice of appeal, Odisho filed a Request for Certificate of Probable Cause based on the trial court’s alleged failure to properly calculate his presentence credits. The trial court issued the certificate on February 29, 2024, two weeks before Odisho was scheduled to be released from jail. On July 3, 2024, Odisho’s court appointed attorney filed a Wende brief in which he declared he was unable to find any arguable issues to raise on Odisho’s behalf. Per this court’s usual practice, we then issued an order inviting Odisho to file a supplemental brief on his own behalf. However, the order was mailed to the outdated address listed in the order for appointment of counsel on appeal, and we did not receive a supplemental brief from Odisho.
