IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT
(El Dorado)
THE PEOPLE, C104306
Plaintiff and Respondent,
(Super. Ct. No. 22CR1906)
v.
KEVIN EDWARD BRUNNER,
Defendant and Appellant.
Appointed counsel for defendant Kevin Edward Brunner asks 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 has not filed a supplemental letter brief.
Finding no arguable issues, we affirm.
I
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
In 2023, a jury found defendant guilty of attempting to burn a structure (Pen.
Code, § 455; count 2) and vandalism over $400 (Pen. Code, § 594; count 3).
In January 2024, the trial court suspended imposition of sentence and ordered
three years’ probation. The court waived all fines and fees.
Between March 2024 and June 2025, the probation department filed multiple
petitions alleging defendant had violated probation. In June 2025, defendant admitted to
1
violating three terms of probation. The parties agreed that defendant would be sentenced
to an aggregate prison sentence of 16 months.
In July 2025, the trial court sentenced defendant to 16 months in prison, as
follows: 16 months on count 2 and 16 months concurrent on count 3. The court awarded
204 days of custody credit.
Defendant timely appealed and the trial court denied his request for a certificate of
probable cause.
II
DISCUSSION
Appointed counsel filed an opening brief setting forth the facts of the case and
asking this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable
issues on appeal. (People v. Wende, supra, 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 the
opening brief. More than 30 days have elapsed, and we have received no communication
from defendant. Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no
arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.
