IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT (Shasta) ----
THE PEOPLE, C095567
Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. Nos. 20F5297, 20F8072, 21F3977, 21F6684, v. 21F7242)
DOMINIC PATRICK CHURCHILL,
Defendant and Appellant.
Appointed counsel for defendant Dominic Patrick Churchill filed an opening brief setting forth the facts of the case and asking this court to review the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant filed a supplemental brief raising several issues. After reviewing the entire record, we find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant and affirm the judgment. We provide the following brief description of the facts and procedural history of the case. (See People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110, 123-124.)
