In 2023, Gardiner Bosey Smith pled guilty to assault with force likely to produce

great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(4)) and admitted that he personally

inflicted great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 12022.7, subd. (a)). Per a plea agreement, the

court sentenced him to three years formal probation and 140 days of custody, but

awarded him credit for 140 days of time-served. Smith appealed, and in the notice of

appeal indicated he was appealing “sentencing, falsifying information.” Smith did not

obtain a certificate of probable cause.

We appointed counsel to represent Smith on appeal, and counsel has filed a brief
