IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION ONE

THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, A162667 v. AARON MUDRICH, (Lake County Super. Ct. No. CR951601) Defendant and Appellant.

The trial court revoked defendant Aaron Mudrich’s probation and sentenced him to three years in prison. His appellate attorney has asked the court for an independent review of the record under People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. We find no arguable issues and affirm.

Mudrich pleaded no contest to one count of felony attempted arson (Pen. Code, § 455)1 and one count of misdemeanor obstructing/resisting a peace officer (§ 148, subd. (a)(1)) in connection with a July 2018 fire on property in Kelseyville. The trial court in December 2019 placed Mudrich on three years’ probation pursuant to a plea agreement.

each month that year to check in with his probation officer as required.

Following a contested probation-revocation hearing at which the probation officer and Mudrich both testified, the trial court found that Mudrich had violated the condition of his probation that he regularly report to his probation officer.

The court terminated Mudrich’s probation and sentenced him to the upper term of three years in prison on the attempted arson count with a concurrent 180 days on the obstruction count, imposed the previously stayed $300 probation-revocation restitution fine (§ 1202.44), and ordered Mudrich to register under section 457.1.

Sufficient evidence supports the finding that Mudrich violated probation, and the trial court did not abuse its discretion in revoking probation and sentencing Mudrich to the upper term. There are no arguable issues.

The judgment is affirmed.
