IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION SIX
THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. CHRISTINA EVELYNE BARNES, Defendant and Appellant. | 2d Crim. No. B214504 (Super. Ct. No. 2007034993) (Ventura County) |
Christina Evelyne Barnes appeals the judgment entered after she pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining welfare benefits in excess of $400 (Welf. & Inst. Code, 10980, subd. (c)(2)). Imposition of sentence was suspended, and Barnes was placed on formal probation with terms and conditions including that she serve 45 days in county jail. She was also ordered to pay $5,359 in victim restitution to the Ventura County Human Services Agency (HSA).
Because Barnes pleaded guilty prior to the preliminary hearing, the relevant facts are derived from the probation officers report. Sometime prior to June 2005, Barnes began receiving welfare assistance from HSA. In June 2005, she obtained employment but failed to notify HSA. During the period of her employment from June 2005 until February 2006, HSA gave her $4,239 in cash and $872 in food stamps.
We appointed counsel to represent Barnes in this appeal. After counsel's examination of the record, she filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised.
On June 15, 2009, we advised Barnes that she had 30 days within which to personally submit a letter brief identifying any contentions or issues she wished us to consider. She did not respond.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Barness attorney has fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
