him to the upper term on count 1 plus additional time for the enhancement and prior convictions, for a total term of 16 years. Guiher appealed. His appointed counsel filed a brief seeking our independent review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 to determine whether there are any arguable issues for review. We informed Guiher of his right to personally file a supplemental brief, and he has done so. Having reviewed the specific contentions raised by Guiher in his brief as well as independently reviewing the record, we find no reasonably arguable appellate issues. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND On January 10, 2023, Brandon Scott Guiher was charged in an amended information with assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury (§ 245, subd. (a)(4); counts 1, 6) and battery with serious bodily injury (§ 243, subd. (d); counts 2, 7) as to two different victims on two separate occasions. The amended information further alleged as to a third victim that he made a criminal threat (§ 422; count 3) and violated a criminal protective order on two occasions (§ 166, subd. (c)(1); counts 4, 5). Counts 1, 2, 3, and 6 included additional enhancements. Guiher pleaded guilty the same day to count 1 and admitted the enhancement that he personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim of count 1 (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)). He also admitted that he suffered two prior convictions. (§§ 667(a)(l), 668, 1192.7(c).) Finally, he agreed that three aggravating factors were true. (Cal. Rules of Court, rules 4.421(a)(1), 4.421(a)(3), 4.421(b)(3).) The court sentenced Guiher to the upper term of eight years on count 1 plus three years for the enhancement and five years for the prior convictions, for a total of 16 years in state prison.
