INTRODUCTION

The District Attorney of Los Angeles County filed an information charging 

defendant and appellant Terrell McCary with criminal threats. (Pen. Code, § 422, subd. 

(a).) The information alleged that during the commission and attempted commission of 

that offense, defendant personally used a deadly and dangerous weapon (a knife). (Pen. 

Code, § 12022, subd. (b)(1).) The information further alleged that the offense was a 

serious felony, a violent felony, or an offense requiring registration under Penal Code 

section 290, subdivision (c), and that incarceration for the offense was to be served in 

state prison pursuant to Penal Code section 1170, subdivision (h)(3). Defendant pleaded 

not guilty and denied the special allegations. 

The trial court granted the prosecution’s motion to amend the information to add 

as count 2 a violation of Penal Code section 245, subdivision (a)(4)—assault with intent 

to commit great bodily injury. Defendant pleaded no contest to count 2. The trial court 

sentenced defendant to three years in state prison and suspended execution of sentence. 

The trial court placed defendant on formal probation for three years under various terms 

and conditions, including the condition that he serve 270 days in the Los Angeles County 

jail. The trial court dismissed the remaining count and special allegations. 

On appeal, defendant’s appointed counsel filed an opening brief in accordance 

with People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 requesting that this court conduct an 

independent review of the record to determine if there are any arguable issues. On 

October 6, 2015, we gave notice to defendant that counsel had failed to find any arguable 

issues and that defendant had 30 days within which to submit by brief or letter any 

grounds of appeal, contentions, or arguments he wished this court to consider. Defendant

did not file a brief or letter.1

The United States Postal Service returned our notice to defendant. Defendant 

apparently was released from the Los Angeles County jail without providing a 

forwarding address.

DISCUSSION2

We have reviewed the record and are satisfied that defendant’s counsel has fully 

complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende, 

supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.) Accordingly, we affirm the judgment.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.
