         APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Kern County. Michael G.

                                                        -ooOoo-
         Pursuant to a negotiated disposition, Naithan Jacobe Guinn admitted violating
probation in case Nos. BF165884A and BF171199A and was sentenced to state prison.

*        Before Detjen, Acting P.J., Franson, J. and Peña, J.
Guinn appealed and appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25
Cal. 3d 436, raising no issues. On January 13, 2020, this court advised Guinn he had 30
days to personally submit any contentions or issues he wanted us to consider. Guinn
submitted no response. We affirm.
                  FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
Kern County Superior Court Case No. BF165884A
       According to the probation officer’s report, on October 9, 2016, Guinn grabbed
and punched a woman on her leg during a confrontation and prevented her from going
into her home. He then retrieved a knife, threatened to stab the woman and another
woman, and took off his belt and threatened to use it as a noose.
       Guinn was charged on October 12, 2016, with two counts of assault with a deadly
weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1))1; two counts of making criminal threats (§ 422);
one count of false imprisonment (§§ 236/237, subd. (a)); and one count of battery (§ 243,
subd. (a)). It was further alleged that Guinn personally used a deadly weapon while
making the criminal threats (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)).
       On October 21, 2016, pursuant to a negotiated disposition, Guinn pled no contest
to an amended count of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury (§ 245,
subd. (a)(4)), and the remaining counts were dismissed.
       On November 21, 2016, imposition of sentence was suspended, and Guinn was
placed on three years’ formal probation and ordered to serve nine months in county jail.
Kern County Superior Court Case No. BF171199A
       According to the probation officer’s report, on January 5, 2017, Guinn, then 18
years old, engaged in sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl.
       Guinn was charged on February 9, 2018, with one count of lewd acts with a child
(§ 288, subd. (a)).

1      All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise stated.

                                             2.
       On April 23, 2018, pursuant to a negotiated disposition, Guinn pled no contest to
the charge and admitted to violating probation in case No. BF165884A.
       On July 6, 2018, imposition of sentence was suspended, Guinn was placed on
three years’ formal probation and ordered to serve one year in county jail.
Probation Revocation Proceedings for Both Cases
       On December 27, 2018, petitions to revoke probation were filed in both cases,
alleging Guinn violated the terms and conditions of probation by failing to provide a
current address, removing his electronic monitoring device, and committing a new
offense, statutory rape (§ 261.5, subd. (c)).
       On April 11, 2019, pursuant to a negotiated disposition, Guinn admitted to
violating probation in case Nos. BF165884A and BF171199A. Guinn was sentenced to
serve six years in state prison in case No. BF171199A, and to three years concurrent in
case No. BF165884A.
Conclusion
       We have examined the appellate record and are satisfied Guinn’s attorney has
complied with the responsibilities of counsel and no arguable issue exists. (People v.
Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.)
                                      DISPOSITION
       The judgment is affirmed.

                                                3.
