IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA



THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT



(Yolo)



----



THE PEOPLE,



Plaintiff and Respondent,



v.



DOUG GLEN LUTE,



Defendant and Appellant.



C061112



(Super. Ct. No. 02-4327)



In November 2003 a jury found defendant Doug Glen Lute guilty of committing lewd or lascivious acts upon a child under 14 years of age. (Pen. Code,  288, subd. (a).)[1] The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on five years of formal probation subject to specified terms and conditions, including that defendant was to participate in sex offender counseling and was not to have contact with children, including his own, unless accompanied by a preapproved adult. The court imposed fees and fines, including a $200 restitution fine pursuant to Penal Code section 1202.4, subdivision (b). This court affirmed the judgment on appeal. (People v. Lute (Mar. 13, 2006, C047005) [nonpub. opn.].)



In November 2006 a declaration alleging a violation of probation as a result of defendants admitted contact with his children was filed, then later stricken and probation was reinstated. A second declaration was filed in August 2008 alleging defendant violated probation by being terminated from sex offender counseling and by attending an amusement park in violation of the courts order. Following a contested hearing in December 2008, the court found the allegations in the declaration true, terminated probation and sentenced defendant to six years in state prison, minus applicable presentence custody credit. The court reiterated the previously ordered [$200] restitution fine and imposed another $200 restitution fine ( 1202.4, subd. (b)) and a $200 parole revocation fine, stayed pending successful completion of parole ( 1202.45).[2]



Defendant appeals. We appointed counsel to represent him on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case and requests 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 was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of 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.



DISPOSITION



The judgment is affirmed.
