Affirmed.

Appellant
Lavelle Shuntel Garrison pled guilty to possession of methamphetamine, (Health
& Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)) pursuant to a negotiated plea
agreement. The trial court suspended
imposition of sentence and placed appellant on formal probation for a period of
686 days with the first 321 days in county jail.href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title="">[1] Another condition of appellant's probation
was that he obey all laws.
On December 26, 2012, a motion to
revoke probation was filed. On February 19, 2013, a hearing was held
pursuant to People v. >Vickers (1972) 8 Cal.3d 451. The court found appellant in violation of
probation, revoked probation, and imposed a term of two years in href="http://www.fearnotlaw.com/">state prison.
FACTS
On December 14, 2012, appellant and his
girlfriend Patricia Medina, were on their way to the beach when an argument
ensued. Appellant grabbed Medina
by her neck and said he wanted to kill her.
Someone flagged down the police. Medina
told police officers about the incident, and also told them appellant had been
violent toward her before.
Appellant
testified at the probation revocation hearing.
He denied he choked Medina. Appellant said Medina
had hit him on many occasions.
DISCUSSION
Appellant filed a timely href="http://www.mcmillanlaw.com/">notice of appeal, and we appointed
counsel to represent him on appeal.
Appellant's counsel filed an opening brief pursuant to >People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, and requested this court to
independently review the record on appeal to determine whether any href="http://www.fearnotlaw.com/">arguable issues exist.
On June 27, 2013, we advised appellant he had 30 days in
which to personally submit any contentions or issues which he wished us to
consider. No response has been received
to date.
We have
examined the entire record and are satisfied appellant's attorney has fully
complied with his responsibilities and no arguable issues exist. (People
v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.)

The
judgment is affirmed.
