ALEXANDER DEPREE JEFFERSON,

Defendant and Appellant. C088576

(Super. Ct. No. 16NCR11418)

Appointed counsel for defendant Alexander Depree Jefferson filed an opening

brief that sets forth the facts of the case and asks this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. ( People v. Wende (1979)

25 Cal.3d 436.) After examining the record, w e find no arguable error that would result
in an outcome more favorable to defendant and affirm the judgment as mod ified.2 I. BACKGROUND
In September 2016, defendant was charged with the kidnapping of S.S., the
mother of his child (Pen. Code, § 207, subd. (a)

— count 1), 1 three counts of assault with a deadly weapon on S.S., L.H., and A.B. (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)

— counts 2

- 4, respectively), corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant on S.S. (§ 273.5, subd. (a)

— count 5), battery causing serious bodily injury on S.S. (§ 243, subd. (d)

— count 6), two counts of criminal threats against S.S. and A.B. (§ 422, subd. (a)

— counts 7

- 8, r espectively), dissuading a
witness (A.B.) (§ 136.1, subd. (b)(1)

— count 9), and unlawful use of force against A.B.
(§ 242

— count 10). For several offenses, it was alleged that defendant personally inflicted great bodily injury (§ 12022.7, subds. (a), (e)

— co unts 1

- 3, & 7), and personally used a deadly weapon, an ice pick (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)

— counts 1, 5

- 9). It was further alleged that defendant had a prior serious felony conviction (§§ 667, subds., (c) & (e)(1), 1170.12), and had served two prior prison te rms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). Defendant pled not guilty and denied the allegations and enhancements. On September 14, 2016, defense counsel declared a doubt as to defendant’s
competency, and the trial court suspended criminal proceedings under section 1368. Three months later, in December 2016, the trial court found defendant mentally incompetent under s ection 1368 and committed him to the Department of State Hospitals until his mental competency was restored. After a competency hearing in August 2017, the trial court found defendant had regained his competency and reinstated criminal proceedings.

In A ugust 2018, defendant pled guilty to count 6 (battery resulting in serious
bodily injury on S.S.) and count 8 (criminal threats against A.B.), admitted that he personally used a deadly weapon during the criminal threats offense, and admitted that he

had a prior strike conviction in exchange for a negotiated term of 10 years four months in state prison and dismissal of the remaining charges and enhancements. 2
Pursuant to the plea agreement, the parties stipulated that the police report could

serve as the factual basis for the plea. According to the police report, defendant assaulted the mother of his children (S.S.), threatened to kill her, physically assaulted and threatened A.B., who came over to check on S.S., and stabbed A.B.’s boyfriend with an
ice p ick multiple times.
From the minute order and abstract of judgment, it appears that in October 2018, the trial court sentenced defendant to the stipulated 10 year four month prison term, consisting of the upper term of four years (doubled to eight years f or the strike prior) on the battery offense, plus eight months (doubled to one year four months) for the criminal threat offense, and one year for the great bodily injury enhancement. 3 The court imposed a $6,000 restitution fine (§ 1202.4) and a $6,000 p arole revocation restitution fine, which was suspended unless parole was revoked (§ 1202.45). The court awarded defendant 778 days of custody credit and 778 days of conduct credit for a total of 1556 days of presentence credit. Defendant timely appealed without a certificate of probable cause.

II. DISCUSSION
We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief setting forth the facts of the case and requesting that this court review the record to

determine whether ther e are any arguable issues on appeal. ( People v. Wende , supra , 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was advised of his right to file a supplemental brief within 30

2 At the conclusion of the plea hearing, the court dismissed the remaining counts according to the terms of the plea deal.

days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed, and we

received no commun ication from defendant. Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, w e find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.

III. DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
