COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION ONE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THE PEOPLE, D086526
Plaintiff and Respondent,
v. (Super. Ct. No. SCE427914)
DAE’QUON TYLER,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County,
Jami L. Ferrara, Judge. Affirmed.
Siri Shetty, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant
and Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
Dae’quon Tyler appeals from his convictions for hit and run with injury
and driving under the influence of drugs causing injury. His appointed
appellate counsel filed an opening brief raising no arguable issues pursuant
to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386
U.S. 738. Tyler did not file supplemental briefing on his own behalf. Our
independent review confirms there are no arguable issues on appeal. We
therefore affirm the conviction.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
On January 19, 2024, Tyler drove over 80 miles per hour on the
freeway while under the influence of marijuana and Alprazolam (commonly
known as Xanax) and collided with another vehicle. Tyler’s girlfriend, M.
Mootry, was riding in the front passenger’s seat, and she suffered several
injuries including a concussion and sciatic nerve pain. Tyler fled the scene,
but officers apprehended him nearby.
The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office charged Tyler with hit
and run with injury (Veh. Code, § 20001, subd. (a); count 1) and driving
under the influence of drugs causing injury (Veh. Code, § 23153, subd. (f);
count 2). A jury found Tyler guilty of both counts. The trial court granted
Tyler three years’ formal probation but denied Tyler’s request to reduce the
offenses to misdemeanors. Tyler’s timely appeal followed.
Tyler’s appointed appellate counsel filed an opening brief raising no
issues and asking us to review the record for error under Wende and Anders.
Counsel identified two potential issues to assist us in our independent
review: whether the trial court erred in admitting portions of Mootry’s
medical records or by excluding evidence of Mootry’s statements to the
paramedics. Tyler has not filed supplemental briefing despite his counsel
and this court informing him of his right to do so.
DISCUSSION
We have reviewed the entire record as required by Wende and Anders,
and we considered the issue identified by Tyler’s counsel. We find no
2
arguable issue that would result in a reversal or modification of the
judgment. We therefore affirm the judgment. Competent counsel
represented Tyler in this appeal.
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
