Opinion


THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. DAVID ALBERT THOMPSON, Defendant and Appellant. A122046 California Court of Appeal, First District, First Division January 26, 2009

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN OFFICIAL REPORTS

Mendocino County Super. Ct. No. SCWLCRCR-08-83178

Marchiano, P. J.

Defendant David Albert Thompson appeals with a certificate of probable cause from a judgment entered on his guilty plea. His counsel has raised no issues and asks this court for an independent review of the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was notified of his right to file a supplemental brief, but has not done so. We have reviewed the entire record on appeal, find no arguable issues, and affirm the judgment.

On March 17, 2008, the People filed a complaint charging defendant with: felony transportation of marijuana (Health & Saf. Code, § 11360, subd. (a)); felony possession of marijuana for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11359); felony possession of concentrated cannabis (Health & Saf. Code, § 11357, subd. (a)); misdemeanor possession of more than one ounce of marijuana (Health & Saf. Code, § 11357, subd. (c)); and misdemeanor provision of false identification to a peace officer (Pen. Code, § 148.9, subd. (a)).

On April 23, 2008, defendant waived his right to a jury trial and pleaded guilty to possession of concentrated cannabis. The plea was entered with the understanding that the remaining counts would be dismissed and that defendant could be sentenced to a maximum of three years in state prison.

According to the probation report, defendant was found in a car on March 14, 2008, with a large laundry bag containing bud marijuana and concentrated cannabis, two large nylon duffle bags full of loose leaf marijuana, and multiple jars of concentrated cannabis and bud marijuana. At the plea hearing, the prosecutor indicated that approximately one pound of hashish, three pounds of bud marijuana, and 32 pounds of loose leaf marijuana were recovered in the search of the vehicle.

The trial court denied probation and sentenced defendant to the midterm of two years in state prison.

Defendant was represented by counsel. There was no error in the proceedings, including the sentencing. There are no meritorious issues to be argued or briefed.

The judgment is affirmed.

We concur: Margulies, J., Graham, J.

Retired judge of the Marin Superior Court assigned by the Chief Justice pursuant to article VI, section 6 of the California Constitution.
