FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, Plaintiff and Respondent, A160842

v. (Mendocino County Super. Ct. JASON MARCUS OUTLAW, No. SCUK-CRCR-19-32613) Defendant and Appellant.

Defendant Jason Marcus Outlaw appeals from the trial court’s imposition of a six-year prison term after Outlaw pleaded no contest to felony domestic violence and multiple misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest. Outlaw’s appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), identifying no issues and requesting that this court review the record and determine whether any arguable issue exists on appeal. Having done so, we affirm.

In addition, it was alleged that Outlaw had previously suffered a strike conviction in November 2007 for felony driving under the influence (§ 23153, subd, (a)), with two admitted great bodily injury enhancements (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)). Finally, the information stated that Outlaw had been convicted previously of two or more felonies within the meaning of sections 1170.12 and 667. The charges stemmed from two separate incidents of domestic violence against the same victim.2 Police officers responded to a 911 hang up call in the early morning of March 18, 2019, in which a female could be heard crying and screaming.
