THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, A173344 v. ANTONIO SARRAZA VILLEGAS, (Napa County Super. Ct. No. 19CR001441) Defendant and Appellant.
In an earlier appeal, this court reversed defendant Antonio Sarraza Villegas’s conviction on count 1 and remanded for resentencing due to sentencing error with respect to the convictions on counts 3, 5, and 6.

raised no challenge to counts 2 and 4 in his earlier appeal, we affirmed the convictions and sentences on those counts. (Ibid.

We otherwise affirm the judgment.”].) In this appeal from the resentencing, defendant’s appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) summarizing the facts and asking the court to review the record to identify any issues warranting relief. Defendant was advised of his right to file a supplemental brief and filed such a brief on September 22, 2025. After our independent review of the briefs and the record, we find no issues warranting further briefing and affirm. BACKGROUND The facts underlying defendant’s convictions are set forth in detail in Villegas I and are not relevant to our disposition, so we do not repeat them here. It is sufficient to say that all charges and special allegations in the information related to defendant’s sexual molestation of three minors, Jane Does 1, 2, and 3, from 2010 to 2019. (Villegas I, supra, A165626.) The jury convicted on all counts and found true all allegations. (Ibid.) In Villegas I, we reversed the conviction on count 1 (which related to Jane Doe 1),
