THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. TYRONE MICHAEL BROWN, Defendant and Appellant.
William Davies, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Bill Lockyer, Attorney General, Robert R. Anderson, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Jo Graves, Assistant Attorney General, and Carlos A. Martinez, Deputy Attorney General, for Plaintiff and Respondent.
Appellant Tyrone Michael Brown pled nolo contendere to sale or transportation of cocaine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11352). The trial court imposed the mitigated prison term of three years. The court granted Brown applicable custody credits and ordered Brown to pay a restitution fine.
Browns appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief which summarizes the pertinent facts, raises no issues, and requests this court independently to review the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 158 Cal. Rptr. 839, 600 P.2d 1071.) The opening brief also includes the declaration of appellate counsel indicating that Brown was advised he could file his own brief with this court. By letter of December 4, 2002, we invited Brown to submit additional briefing. To date, he has not done so.
After independent review of the record, we have concluded no other reasonably arguable legal or factual argument exists.
The judgment is affirmed.
