THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. LINDA MAUREEN DUNN, Defendant and Appellant.
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED
Super. Ct. No. CC038565
MAURO, Acting P. J.
Appointed counsel for defendant Linda Maureen Dunn asked this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) Finding no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant, we will affirm the judgment.
I
Defendant mailed Suboxone, a controlled substance, to her half brother, who was in prison. She and her half brother discussed her efforts in several phone calls, which were monitored by officers in the prison investigative services unit. The prosecution charged defendant with one count of conspiring to bring drugs into a state prison (Pen. Code, §§ 182, subd. (a)(1), 4573), and two counts of bringing contraband into a state prison (§ 4573, subd. (a)). Defendant pleaded guilty to the conspiracy count in exchange for the dismissal of the other charges and a maximum sentence of the low term, or two years.
Undesignated statutory references are to the Penal Code.
At the sentencing hearing, defendant asked the trial court to impose a term of probation based on her personal circumstances, which included several health issues. The trial court denied the request, citing defendant's history of felony convictions and a prior probation violation. The trial court sentenced defendant to the low term of two years, to be served as a split sentence with one year in county jail and one year on mandatory supervision, and imposed various fines and fees.
Defendant did not obtain a certificate of probable cause.
II
Appointed counsel filed an opening brief setting forth the facts of the case and asking this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed and we received no communication from defendant.
Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
We concur: DUARTE, J., EARL, J.
