THE PEOPLE, B298250
Plaintiff and Respondent, Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. BA454148 v.
ANA PORTILLO,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Norman J. Shapiro, Judge. Affirmed. Roberta Simon, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
INTRODUCTION AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles County District Attorney filed an information charging defendant and appellant Ana Portillo with willful, deliberate, and premeditated attempted murder. (Pen. Code, §§ 664, 187.)1 The information alleged Portillo personally and intentionally discharged a firearm (§ 12022.53, subd. (c)), and in so doing, caused great bodily injury (§ 12022.53, subd. (d)). The information also alleged Portillo committed the offense for the benefit of, at the direction of, and in association with a criminal street gang. (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(C).) The trial court granted the prosecution’s motion to amend the information by removing the allegation that the attempted murder was willful, deliberate, and premeditated. Portillo pled no contest to attempted second degree murder. She admitted she personally and intentionally discharged a firearm within the meaning of section 12022.53, subdivision (c). The trial court dismissed the remaining allegations. The court sentenced her to an upper term of nine years, plus 20 years for the firearm enhancement, for a total of 29 years in state prison. Portillo filed a timely notice of appeal, and we appointed counsel to represent her. On February 25, 2020, appellate counsel filed a brief raising no issues and asking us to review the record independently. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) Portillo did not respond to our letter advising her of her right to file supplemental briefing.
