IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION SIX

THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. SALVADOR MEDIANO, JR., Defendant and Appellant.

2d Crim. No. B237377 (Super. Ct. No. 1180224) (Santa Barbara County)

Salvador Mediano, Jr. appeals an order revoking his probation and sentencing him to a three-year prison term.
On November 1, 2006, after receiving advice of and waiving his constitutional rights, Mediano pleaded nolo contendere to three felony counts of resisting a police officer, and one misdemeanor count of being under the influence of a controlled substance. (Pen. Code, § 69; Health & Saf. Code, § 11550, subd. (a).)
The crimes arose from a disturbance Mediano caused in a restaurant and while being arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance.
In accordance with a plea bargain, the trial court sentenced Mediano to a prison term of three years for each of the three counts of resisting a police officer, to be served concurrently. It then suspended execution of sentence and granted Mediano five years of formal probation with terms and conditions, including community service and payment of fines and fees.
In 2010 and 2011, Mediano violated the terms of his probation on four occasions. The first three violations involved continued use of controlled substances. Mediano admitted each of these violations. Following each admission, the trial court reinstated and modified the terms of probation and ordered Mediano to serve additional days of confinement in county jail. The four violations involved Mediano violating the terms of his probation by contacting a former girlfriend. Following a hearing at which Mediano contested the fourth violation, the trial court revoked the grant of probation and lifted the stay of execution on the three-year prison term. The court awarded Mediano 1,006 days of custody credit.
We appointed counsel to represent Mediano in this appeal. After counsel's examination of the record, he filed an opening brief raising no issues.
On February 24, 2012, we advised Mediano that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that he wished to raise on appeal. We have not received a response.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Mediano's attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
