_____________________2 FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

In 2014 Derek Cervantes was working as a security guard for Cedars

- Sinai

Medical Center in Los Angeles. On the morning of August 30, 2014 Cervantes

discovered Jessica Tello in the employee parking structure. Tello was hitting and kicking

a parked car owned by Sharon Galvis, a nurse practitioner at the medical center. There

were multiple dents o n the car. Cervantes told Tello to back away from the car, but Tello

refused. She was angry and combative. Tello initially claimed the car was hers and the

keys were inside her bag. After Cervantes detained her, Tello said the keys were on the

floor of the car. L ater, Tello insisted the car belonged to her boyfriend and he was

bringing the keys. Cervantes escorted Tello to the emergency room, where she was

admitted for a medical evaluation.

Galv is’s car was undamaged when she arrived at the medical center and p arked it

in the structure on August 29, 2014. She did not know Tello. Because repairing the car

would co st more than it was worth, Galv is elected to have her insurance company

compensate her in the amount of $5,981.30, the current value of the car.

The People charged Tello with one count of vandalism resulting in damage over

$400

. (Pen. Code, § 5 94 , subd s . (a) , (b)(1). ) A jury convicted Tello of felony vandalism

as charged. The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Tello on five

year s of formal probation

. Tello filed a timely notice of appeal.

DISCUSSION

We appointed counsel to represent Tello on appeal. After an examination of the

record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues. On February 24, 2016 we

advised Tello s he had 30 days to submit any arguments or raise any issues she wanted us

to consider. We have not received a response.

We have examined the record and are satisfied appellate counsel for Tello has

complied with her responsibilities and that there are no a rguable issues. ( Smith v.3
