I. INTRODUCTION

Defendant Cedric Chester Johnson appeals from final judgments related to four criminal actions. Appointed counsel filed an opening brief summarizing the cases but raising no issues. We notified defendant of his right to submit written argument on his own behalf. Defendant responded by filing a supplemental brief. Pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and People v.

Following the California Supreme Court’s direction in Kelly, we provide “a brief description of the facts and procedural history of the case[s], the crimes of which the defendant was convicted, and the punishment imposed.” (Id. at p. 110.)
