Appointed counsel for defendant Randina Christine Elias asked this court to review the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was advised of her right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. Defendant did not respond. Finding no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant, we affirm the judgment.

BACKGROUND On April 1, 2021, defendant’s ex-boyfriend and father of their two teenaged children drove defendant and the children to a fast food restaurant for lunch. Defendant was intoxicated. The ex-boyfriend heard her whisper, “ ‘Get ready to die. Don’t worry it’s not going to hurt a bit.’ ” When he asked her if she was all right, she answered, “ ‘No, not really.’ ” When they arrived back at defendant’s residence, defendant removed a hammer from her purse and swung it three times at the ex-boyfriend’s head, hitting both of his hands as he tried to protect his head. The two children grabbed defendant so the ex-boyfriend could get out of the vehicle. Defendant then got out and walked away. Later, defendant admitted she drank four shots of vodka and smoked a bowl of methamphetamine before the incident. She said she intended only to “ ‘shock’ ” her ex-boyfriend, not to kill him.

On April 5, 2021, the Fresno County District Attorney charged defendant with assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1);1 count 1), domestic violence (§ 273.5, subd. (a); count 2), and misdemeanor child abuse (§ 273a, subd. (a); count 3).

On January 7, 2022, defendant pled no contest to count 1 in exchange for a maximum sentence of two years.

1 All statutory references are to the Penal Code.

2.

On February 7, 2022, the trial court sentence defendant to the low term of two years on count 1, awarded 389 days of custody credits, and imposed various fines and fees.

On February 14, 2022, defendant filed a notice of appeal.

DISCUSSION Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no evidence of ineffective assistance of counsel or any other arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.

DISPOSITION The judgment is affirmed.
