P. v. Fires CA1/1
Defendant Joshua Fires appeals from sentences entered on pleas of no contest in two cases. His counsel asked this court for an independent review of the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Fires was informed of his right to file a supplemental brief and did not do so. We were nonetheless concerned that some of the probation conditions imposed in one of the cases were arguably unconstitutionally vague or overbroad, and we asked for briefing on the issue.
In that briefing, Fires challenges probation conditions ordering him to stay away from the victims and their residence (stay-away condition), to not possess weapons (weapons condition), and to not use marijuana even with a Proposition 215 card (Proposition 215 condition). The Attorney General concedes that the first two conditions must be modified and the last condition must be stricken. We agree with the parties’ proposed disposition.
