Appellant and defendant Coral Annette Lytle (appellant) pleaded guilty to 21 felony counts for sexually molesting two minors. She was sentenced to four years in prison. The trial court ordered appellant to pay noneconomic victim restitution of $100,000 to each minor pursuant to Penal Code1 section 1202.4, subdivision (f)(3)(F). On direct appeal, the restitution order was reversed and the matter remanded for further proceedings. On remand, the trial court conducted another hearing and ordered appellant to pay $50,000 to each minor as noneconomic victim restitution. On appeal, appellate counsel filed a brief that summarized the facts with citations to the record, raised no issues, and asked this court to independently review the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Appellant did not file a supplemental brief on her own behalf. We affirm.
