SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION SIX
THE PEOPLE, 2d Crim. No. B350263
(Super. Ct. No.
Plaintiff and Respondent, 24CJCF06666-01)
(Los Angeles County)
v.
ALEASHA MOODY,
Defendant and Appellant.
Aleasha Moody appeals from the judgment after a jury
convicted her of assault with a deadly weapon. (Pen. Code, § 245,
subd. (a)(1).)1
We appointed counsel to represent appellant in this appeal.
After an examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief
that raises no arguable issues. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d
436 (Wende).) On July 6, 2026, we notified appellant by mail that
she had 30 days within which to personally submit any

contentions or issues she wished us to consider. No supplemental
brief was filed.
In August 2024, appellant assaulted the victim, stabbing
her one time in the side of the head with a knife. After the
assault, the victim walked to a friend’s house to get help.
Approximately one hour later, the friend called 911 because they
could not get the bleeding to stop. The victim was transported to
the hospital where she underwent surgery to remove part of the
knife blade that had broken off during the attack and fractured
the left side of her skull. The victim subsequently identified
appellant in a photo lineup as the person who assaulted her.
Investigators obtained surveillance video from the area that
captured the incident on camera.
During an interview with detectives, appellant made
incriminating statements that were recorded and later admitted
into evidence at trial. In an amended information, the Los
Angeles County District Attorney charged appellant with willful,
deliberate, and premediated attempted murder (§§ 664, 187,
subd. (a); count 1) and assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd.
(a)(1); count 2). The information further alleged, as to both
counts, that appellant personally inflicted great bodily injury on
the victim (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)) and personally used a deadly and
dangerous weapon (§ 12022, subd. (b)(1)).
At the conclusion of trial, the jury acquitted appellant of
premeditated attempted murder as charged in count 1 but found
her guilty of assault with a deadly weapon as charged in count 2.
The jury also found true the special allegations that appellant
personally inflicted great bodily injury and personally used a
deadly and dangerous weapon. The trial court sentenced
appellant to six years in state prison, comprised of the midterm of
2
three years on count 2 plus three years for the great bodily injury
allegation. The trial court struck the remaining special
allegation in the interest of justice pursuant to section 1385.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that
appellant’s counsel has fully complied with her responsibilities
and that no arguable issue exists. (Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.)

The judgment is affirmed.
