SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION FIVE

THE PEOPLE, B268424

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. NA093493) v.

RONALD BALDWIN,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Laura L. Laesecke, Judge. Affirmed. James M. Crawford, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance by Plaintiff and Respondent.

INTRODUCTION In 2012, defendant and appellant Ronald Baldwin pleaded no contest to inflicting corporal injury on a spouse, cohabitant, or child’s parent (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a)1), resisting an executive officer (§ 69), and committing misdemeanor vandalism (§ 594, subd. (a)). With respect to the corporal injury offense, defendant admitted that he had suffered a conviction for violating section 273.5, subdivision (a) within the prior seven years. (§ 273.5, subd. (e)(1), now subd. (f)(1).) The trial court placed defendant on formal probation for a period of five years on various terms and conditions and ordered defendant to pay various fines and fees. The trial court also imposed a protective order pursuant to which defendant was not to harass or disturb Ashley Thompson’s peace. In 2005, after a formal revocation hearing, the trial court found defendant to be in violation of his probation. The trial court revoked defendant’s probation and sentenced him to four years in state prison. Defendant’s appointed counsel filed an opening brief in accordance with People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 requesting this court to conduct an independent review of the record to determine if there are any arguable issues. On March 22, 2016, we gave notice to defendant that counsel had failed to find any arguable issues and defendant had 30 days within which to submit by brief or letter any grounds of appeal, contentions, or arguments he wished this court to consider. Defendant did not file a brief or letter. We affirm.
