APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Kern County. Michael G. Bush, Judge.
Stephanie L. Gunther, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
Office of the State Attorney General, Sacramento, California, for Plaintiff and Respondent.
-ooOoo-
Appointed counsel for defendant T.C. asked this court to review the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was advised of his right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed and we received no communication from defendant. Finding no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant, we affirm.
BACKGROUND
On November 22, 2017, defendant was charged with arson (Pen. Code, § 451, subd. (b);[1] count 1), criminal threat (§ 422; count 2), attempting to remove a peace officer’s weapon (§ 148, subd. (d); count 3), resisting a peace officer by force or violence (§ 69; count 4), and providing false identification to a peace officer (§ 148.9, subd. (a), a misdemeanor; count 5). The complaint further alleged that defendant had suffered a prior felony conviction within the meaning of the “Three Strikes” law (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)), and had suffered a prior serious felony conviction (§ 667, subd. (a)).
On December 6, 2017, a doubt regarding defendant’s competence to stand trial was declared and proceedings were suspended pursuant to section 1368. Dr. Carol Matthews evaluated defendant. It was her opinion that defendant was not competent to stand trial.
On February 21, 2018, the trial court committed defendant to the State Department of Mental Health for a maximum of three years. The court awarded defendant custody credits and declined to order involuntary medication.
On March 22, 2018, defendant filed a notice of appeal.
We have reviewed the entire record and find no arguable errors.
DISPOSITION
The order committing defendant to the State Department of Mental Health is affirmed.
