IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION SIX
THE PEOPLE, 2d Crim. No. B313977
(Super. Ct. No. 20CR08197)
Plaintiff and Respondent, (Santa Barbara County)
v.
MILES JAMES WILLIAMS,
Defendant and Appellant.
Miles James Williams appeals a judgment following
conviction of misdemeanor vandalism. (Pen. Code, § 594.)
At a jury trial, the prosecutor presented evidence that on
November 26, 2020, Williams entered a Santa Barbara drugstore.
The store manager knew Williams and ordered him to leave. As
he walked from the store, Williams triggered an electronic theft
device alarm. Williams forcibly removed the device and
destroyed it. The store manager summoned police officers who
then arrested Williams. Williams testified at trial that at the
time of the incident he was not taking his psychotropic
medication.
The trial court sentenced Williams to serve 364 days
confinement in county jail and awarded him presentence custody
credit of 381 days. The court found that Williams did not have
the present financial ability to pay any fines, fees, or
assessments, and therefore did not impose them.
We appointed counsel to represent Williams in this appeal.
After counsel’s examination of the record, she filed an opening
brief raising no issues.
On February 23, 2022, we advised Williams 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
Williams’s attorney has fully complied with her responsibilities
and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25
Cal.3d 436, 441.)
We affirm the judgment.
