SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION FIVE

THE PEOPLE, B252825

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. BA407165) v.

ROBERT L. FORD,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, Drew E. Edwards, Judge. Affirmed. Gideon Margolis, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for defendant and appellant. No appearance by Plaintiff and Respondent.

INTRODUCTION

Defendant and appellant Robert Ford (defendant) pleaded no contest to all of the counts charged in two criminal cases against him, one involving his failure to register as a sex offender and the other involving the theft of checks from the mailroom in which he worked. On appeal, defendant’s appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) requesting that this court independently review the entire record to determine if there are any issues, which if resolved in defendant’s favor, would require reversal or modification of the judgment. Accordingly, we notified defendant that he could brief any grounds of appeal, contentions, or arguments he wanted us to consider. Although defendant requested and we granted an extension to file a supplemental brief, he did not file one. Based on our independent review of the entire file, we conclude that there are no arguable issues on appeal. We therefore affirm the judgments of conviction.
