P. v. Lopez
Following a contested hearing on a petition to revoke probation, the trial court found defendant Vincente Lopez to be in violation of probation a second time for failure to successfully complete a court-ordered drug treatment program. The court denied probation and sentenced defendant to the upper term of five years in state prison, minus presentence custody credits. The court also imposed specified fees and fines. Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal.
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. (People v. Wende (1979) 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 elapsed, and we received no communication from defendant.
