SONIA VICTORINE DONAHUE,

Defendant and Appellant.

Appointed counsel for defendant Sonia Victorine Donahue has asked this court to review the record to determine whether there exist any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) We find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant and shall affirm the judgment, directing minor corrections to the abstract of judgment.

BACKGROUND Case No. 11-1247 On September 8, 2010, defendant hitched a ride to Yreka and stole items from the driver’s purse, including $70 in cash and a debit card. The driver identified defendant from a photo lineup. When interviewed, defendant admitted that she had taken the items and, in addition, had used the debit card to withdraw $200 from the driver’s bank account. The People filed various charges against defendant, including felony petty theft with a prior burglary conviction (former Pen. Code, § 666;1 count 1) to which she ultimately pled guilty, as we describe post. Case No. 12-519 In the very early morning of December 30, 2011, Pacific Power employee James Harkless responded to a power outage in Happy Camp. While Harkless was in the extended boom/bucket portion of his truck, making repairs to the power line, defendant entered his company truck and drove it from the scene with Harkless trapped in the bucket. Harkless was able to shut down the truck using a kill switch, but defendant started the truck up again and continued to drive. This continued multiple times while Harkless screamed and pleaded for his life. Defendant then intentionally rammed the boom into a power pole, knocking Harkless out of the bucket. He sustained major injuries including a broken neck and arm. Defendant fled the scene and abandoned the truck, which was found two days later. This conduct resulted in various charges-- encompassing the first seven counts of the information in case No. 12-519--including carjacking (§ 215, subd. (a); count 2), assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury (§ 245, subd. (a); count 3), and assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd.
