KEVIN JONES,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Renee F. Korn, Judge. Affirmed in part, modified, and remanded with directions.

In an information filed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, defendant and appellant Kevin Jones was charged with one count of felony carrying a concealed firearm (Pen. Code, § 25400, subd. (a)(2); count 1)1 and one count of misdemeanor carrying a concealed firearm (§ 25400, subd. (c)(7); count 2). Defendant pled no contest to both counts. Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant’s sentencing was stayed 18 months with the understanding that if he obeyed all laws and completed 400 hours of community service, the felony count would be withdrawn. When, 18 months later, defendant was unable to prove that he had completed the community service requirement, the trial court placed him on probation for three years and ordered him to serve 17 days in county jail, credit for time served, and to perform 400 hours of community service.2 Defendant timely appealed. After reviewing the record, defendant’s appointed counsel filed an opening brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, in which no arguable issues were raised. On December 4, 2020, we informed defendant that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any grounds for appeal, contentions, or arguments for us to consider. We received no response.
