IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, A159324 v. JUSTIN WALKER, (Contra Costa County Super. Ct. Nos. 05-171647-1, Defendant and Appellant. 05-171646-3)

On January 2, 2020, Walker admitted he violated the terms of his probation, and the trial court reinstated him on probation. Walker appealed. His appellate attorney has asked the court for an independent review of the record under People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Walker’s attorney also has forwarded to the court orders indicating that probation in both of Walker’s pending cases was terminated pursuant to recent amendments to Penal Code section 1203a. (Assem. Bill No. 1950 (2019-2020 Reg. Sess.) § 2.) On the court’s own motion, we take judicial notice of the June 8, 2021 orders. The expiration of a defendant’s probation renders an appeal moot. (People v. Carbajal (1995) 10 Cal.4th 1114, 1120, fn. 5.) The appeal is dismissed.
