         v.

TRACY LYN MERCURIO,

                   Defendant and Appellant.

         This case comes to us pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal. 3d 436 (Wende).
Having reviewed the record as required by Wende, we 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, 124.)
                        FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
         In August 2014, defendant Tracy Lyn Mercurio evaded a police officer who was
driving a marked police vehicle with its siren and lamp activated. While evading the
officer, defendant drove 65 miles per hour in a 40-mile-per-hour zone and ran a stop sign
and a red light traveling 70 miles per hour.

                                                             1
       Defendant pleaded no contest to evading a police officer with willful disregard
(Veh. Code, § 2800.2, subd. (a)) and admitted she suffered a prior conviction for burglary
(Pen. Code, §§ 1170.12, 667).1
       In accordance with the plea agreement, the trial court sentenced defendant to a
term of 16 months, doubled pursuant to the strike, for a total term of 32 months. The trial
court awarded defendant 305 days of presentence custody credit and ordered her to pay a
$300 restitution fund fine (§ 1202.4), a $300 parole revocation fine suspended unless
parole is revoked (§ 1202.45), a $40 court operations fee (§ 1465.8), and a $30 criminal
assessment fee (Gov. Code, § 70373). The trial court denied defendant’s request for a
certificate of probable cause. (§ 1237.5.)
       We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. Counsel filed an opening
brief that sets forth the facts of the case and requests this court to review the record and
determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (Wende, supra, 25 Cal. 3d
436.) Defendant was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within
30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days have elapsed, and
we received no communication from defendant.
                                    WENDE REVIEW
       Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no other arguable
error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.

1 Undesignated statutory references are to the Penal Code in effect at the time of the
charged offenses.

                                 DISPOSITION
     The judgment is affirmed.
