P. v. Ratliff
On September 3, 2010, in Fresno County Superior Court case No. F10601292 (first case), appellant, Albert Eldridge Ratliff, pled guilty to a single count of willful infliction of corporal injury upon a spouse or cohabitant (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a)). On November 9, 2010, the court suspended imposition of sentence and placed appellant on three years’ formal probation.
On November 1, 2011, in Fresno County Superior Court case No. F11905761 (second case), appellant pled guilty to a single count of transportation of marijuana (Health & Saf. Code, § 11360, subd. (a)), and based on that plea, the court found appellant to be in violation of probation in the first case. On December 2, 2011, the court imposed the two-year lower term in the second case and a concurrent two-year term in the first case.
On January 3, 2012, appellant filed a notice of appeal covering both cases and requested the court issue a certificate of probable cause (Pen. Code, § 1237.5). The court denied that request.
Appellant’s appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief which summarizes the pertinent facts, with citations to the record, raises no issues, and asks that this court independently review the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Appellant has not responded to this court’s invitation to submit additional briefing.
