(Ventura County)

Manuel Nava appeals an order revoking his probation and sentencing him to a two-year prison term.

On July 30, 2013, after receiving advice of and waiving his constitutional rights, Nava pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine (count 1) and misdemeanor violation of a gang injunction (count 2). (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a); Pen. Code, § 166, former subd. (a)(10).) Nava also admitted suffering a prior serious felony strike conviction, and serving three prior prison terms. (Pen. Code, § 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d), 667.5, subd. (b).)

According to the factual summary set forth in the probation report, on September 14, 2012, Oxnard police officers contacted Nava, a parolee, in a gang neighborhood. A parole search disclosed 1.48 grams of methamphetamine in Nava's pants pocket. Nava also admitted that he was subject to a local gang injunction.

At a sentencing hearing held on August 29, 2013, the trial court granted Nava's motion pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497, and struck the prior serious felony strike conviction. The court then suspended imposition of sentence and granted Nava three years of formal probation with terms and conditions, including 240 days of confinement in county jail and completion of a residential drug treatment program.

In September 2013, Nava violated the terms of his probation by leaving the drug treatment program and failing to report to probation. Following Nava's admission to the violations, the trial court reinstated and modified the terms of probation, including an additional 90 days of confinement in county jail.

In December, 2013, Nava again violated the terms of his probation by failing to report and by using methamphetamine. On March 14, 2014, Nava admitted that he violated his probation terms. The trial court revoked Nava's probation and sentenced him to a two-year prison term. The court struck the prior prison term enhancements, imposed various fines and fees, and awarded Nava 396 days of custody credit.

We appointed counsel to represent Nava in this appeal. After counsel's examination of the record, he filed an opening brief raising no issues.

On October 16, 2014, we advised Nava that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that he wished to raise on appeal. We have not received a response.

We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Nava's attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)

The judgment is affirmed.
