         v.                                                         (Super. Ct. No. SCE337996)

AMBER M. PIERCE,

         Defendant and Appellant.


         APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Ronald F.

Frazier, Judge. Affirmed.


         Joshua L. Siegel, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and

Appellant.

         No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

         After Amber Pierce pled guilty to arson, the court suspended Pierce's sentence and

placed her on probation. Pierce then twice violated probation conditions. At a hearing,

the court revoked Pierce's probation and imposed a two-year sentence.
       Appointed appellate counsel filed a brief under Anders v. California (1967) 386

U.S. 738 (Anders) and People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). We sent

Pierce notice that her attorney had filed a Wende brief and provided Pierce with the

opportunity to file a supplemental brief. We did not receive a response from Pierce.

After an independent review, we discern no reasonably arguable appellate issues and

affirm.

                               FACTS AND PROCEDURE

       In July 2014, Pierce pled guilty to arson of property. (Pen. Code, § 451, subd.

(d).) In September 2014, the court suspended sentence, and placed Pierce on three years'

formal probation, subject to serving 270 days in county jail, with credit for 256 days.

       Six months later, in March 2015, Pierce admitted she violated several probation

conditions, including that she tested positive for methamphetamine and failed to enroll in

treatment programs. After a hearing, the court reinstated her probation on the same

terms. At a hearing held in May 2015, the court emphasized the importance of Pierce

complying with the probation conditions.

       At a December 2015 hearing, Pierce again admitted violating probation conditions

and waived a hearing on the probation violations. The court then considered the

appropriate disposition. The court stated it had reviewed supporting letters, the probation

report identifying the probation violations and recommending a three-year upper term,

and Pierce's prior history of unsuccessful probation. Based on its consideration of these




                                             2
materials, the court revoked probation and sentenced Pierce to the midterm of two years.

The court ruled that fines and fees would be satisfied by custody.

       Pierce was represented by counsel at each of these hearings.

       Pierce also filed (in pro. per.) petitions for writ of coram nobis, asserting her

conviction was void. The court denied the petitions.

       Pierce's notice of appeal states she is appealing from the December 2015

sentencing order.

                                       DISCUSSION

       Counsel has identified the following issue that "might arguably support the

appeal" (Anders, supra, 386 U.S. at p. 744): "Whether the trial court erred by sentencing

appellant to state prison rather than reinstating the probation."




                                              3
       A review of the record pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders,

supra, 386 U.S. 738, including the issue referred to by appellate counsel, has disclosed no

reasonably arguable appellate issues. Competent counsel has represented Pierce on this

appeal.

                                     DISPOSITION

       The judgment is affirmed.




                                                                              HALLER, J.
