Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from judgments of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Charles A. Chung, Judge. Affirmed. Richard B. Lennon, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent. _____________

Tatianna Chantel Thomas appeals from the judgments entered following her pleas of no contest in separate cases to felony vandalism and driving under the influence of drugs causing great bodily injury. No arguable issues were identified by Thomas’s appointed appellate counsel after his review of the record.

In January 2019, after waiving her constitutional rights to a preliminary hearing and a jury trial, Thomas pleaded no contest, orally and in writing, to felony vandalism. The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Thomas on formal probation for five years with the condition she enroll in an outpatient mental health treatment program. The court awarded Thomas 252 days of presentence custody credits and imposed statutory fines, fees and assessments. In June 2019 the trial court found Thomas in violation of probation and ordered her to participate in an intensive outpatient mental health program. Two months later, at Thomas’s request, the court ordered her into a residential treatment program for mental health and substance abuse issues. In September 2019 the residential facility declined to accept Thomas based on her behavior at the time she was to be admitted. The court issued a bench warrant, which it recalled
