COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION ONE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THE PEOPLE, D069128 Plaintiff and Respondent, v. (Super. Ct. No. SCE344676) PABLO SANCHEZ JIMENEZ, Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Laura W.
Halgren, Judge. Affirmed.
Lindsey M. Ball, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
Defendant Pablo Sanchez Jimenez's appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief asking this court to independently review the record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). We affirm the judgment.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND A. Factual Background1 In early October 2014, the female victim in this case reported that a man named Pablo (Jimenez) came onto her property in Jacumba and threw a can of beer at her.
Sheriff's deputies contacted the victim, who was bleeding from a laceration to the high cheek bone area on the right side of her face. The victim told the deputies that Jimenez arrived at her house on a bicycle as Roberto Rangel, a witness, pulled up in his car. The victim stated she did not like Jimenez and, when she told him to leave, he said, "Fuck you stupid fat bitch!" They exchanged words and then Jimenez threw his can of beer at her from six to 10 feet away. The can, which the deputies recovered, struck her in the face, causing the laceration. Rangel reported that Jimenez arrived at the victim's home as he (Rangel) pulled up in his car. He told the deputies that Jimenez entered onto the victim's property, the victim told Jimenez to get off her property, and Jimenez told her, "Fuck you you fat bitch!" and threw a can of beer striking her in the face. The victim went to the hospital, and Jimenez was later arrested.
B. Procedural Background In February 2015 a jury found Jimenez guilty of (1) assault with a deadly weapon in violation of Penal Code2 section 245, subdivision (a)(1)), as charged in count 2 of the
During Jimenez's sentencing hearing on May 12, 2015, the court imposed but suspended execution of both a three-year middle prison term for his count 2 felony conviction and a consecutive three-year term for the true finding on the count 2 section 12022.7 enhancement allegation, for a total suspended sentence of six years in prison with credit for time served. Pursuant to section 654, the court stayed execution of sentence for Jimenez's conviction of the count 1 lesser included offense of misdemeanor battery. The court then placed him on three years' probation with various terms and conditions.
On July 28, 2015, the San Diego County Probation Department filed an ex parte supplemental report alleging Jimenez violated condition 6(i) of his probation by (1) failing to report to probation on July 1, 2015; and (2) failing to report to probation on July 15, 2015. The probation department requested that the court issue a no-bail bench warrant for Jimenez's arrest. The court issued the warrant and Jimenez was later arrested.
At the sentencing after revocation hearing on September 2, 2015, defense counsel asked the court to place Jimenez back on probation. The prosecutor opposed that request, arguing that Jimenez had two prior convictions for violation of a restraining order and he had committed two battery offenses. The court denied reinstatement of probation, and executed the suspended six-year prison sentence. The court stated: "It looks like back in June [2015], he perhaps had some good intentions. But since that time, there isn't any showing that he went to those programs after June 19th. And he then failed to report to probation when he was told to be there on July 1st. And after that point, he was just simply—essentially AWOL and didn't come back . . . until he was picked up on the warrant. So I don't see that Mr. Jimenez has invested much effort at all in trying to succeed on probation. The crime was very serious. The victim was seriously injured. And the People accurately point out his criminal history that does involve violence. He's also not a young man. He's not old, but he's not an 18 year old who sometimes have better excuses for why they're not quite getting their act together. [¶] So for all those reasons, I don't see a reason to give Mr. Jimenez another chance." As pertinent here, the court ordered that the "$820 fine" was "deemed satisfied by custody credit."3 The court also ordered the imposition of a previously-suspended probation revocation restitution fine of $300 (§ 12022.44), and imposed a suspended $300 parole revocation restitution fine (§ 1202.45). The court further ordered that "[t]he
We granted Jimenez permission to file a brief on his own behalf. He did not do so. We have independently reviewed the record under Wende and considered the possible issues identified by Jimenez's counsel. We have found no reasonably arguable issues for reversal or modification of the judgment. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. Jimenez's appellate counsel has competently represented him in this appeal.
DISPOSITION The judgment is affirmed.
