Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. Nos. CM036127, CM039318) v.
VALERIE ANN CADWALLADER,
Defendant and Appellant.
This appeal comes to us pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). On May 7, 2013, in case No. CM036127, defendant Valerie Ann Cadwallader pleaded no contest to child endangerment (count 1; Pen. Code, § 273a, subd. (a))1 and driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs (count 2; Veh. Code, § 23152, subd. (a)); she also admitted the allegation as to count 2 that her blood-alcohol content

was 0.15 percent or greater (Veh. Code, § 23578). All other pending charges were dismissed.2 Defendant was granted four years of probation, including 120 days in jail. On July 29, 2013, in case No. CM039318, a complaint was filed charging defendant with child endangerment (count 1; § 273a, subd. (a)), possession of a firearm by a convicted felon (count 2; § 29800, subd. (a)(1)), and possession of ammunition by a convicted felon (count 3; § 30305, subd. (a)(1)). The complaint alleged that defendant was out of custody on a pending felony when those offenses were committed. (§ 12022.1.) On the same date, a petition for violation of probation was filed in case No. CM036127, citing the child endangerment offense. On August 27, 2013, in case No. CM039318, defendant pleaded guilty to count 1 and admitted the out-of-custody enhancement, with the understanding that the remaining charges would be dismissed pursuant to People v. Harvey (1979) 25 Cal.3d 754. The trial court found defendant in violation of probation in case Nos. CM036127 and SCR87272. On October 15, 2013, the trial court denied defendant probation in both cases and sentenced her to an aggregate state prison term of seven years four months, computed as follows: in case No. CM039318, the court sentenced defendant to four years on count 1 plus two years to be served consecutively for the out-of-custody enhancement; in case No. CM036127, the court sentenced defendant to one year four months (one-third the middle term, to run consecutively to the sentence in the other case) on count 1 and a six- month concurrent sentence on count 2. The court awarded defendant 537 days of
