Opinion
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County No. PA064508, Ronald S. Coen, Judge.
Richard L. Fitzer, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
KRIEGLER, J.
Defendant and appellant Uriel Cardenas, Jr., was charged in count 1 with possession of ammunition after previously having been convicted of a felony in violation of Penal Code section 12316, subdivision (b)(1) and in count 2 with possession of a firearm by a felon in violation of section 12021, subdivision (a)(1). After denial of defendant’s motion to suppress evidence pursuant to section 1538.5, defendant entered a plea of no contest to count 2. He was sentenced to state prison for the upper term of three years; the sentence was suspended and defendant was placed on probation for a period of three years, with conditions including 180 days in the county jail.
All statutory references are to the Penal Code.
Defendant filed a notice of appeal, based on denial of his motion to suppress evidence. This court appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. On February 22, 2010, counsel filed a brief raising no appellate issues, but requesting this court to independently review the record for arguable issues. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was advised by letter that he was permitted to file a supplemental brief within 30 days. No brief has been filed by defendant.
We have completed our independent review of the record and hold there are no arguable appellate issues. We agree with the trial court’s ruling that the affidavit in support of the search warrant, which was the basis of the motion to suppress, was supported by probable cause. Further, the no contest plea was properly entered after a full advisement and waiver of constitutional rights.
The judgment is affirmed. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259.)
We concur: TURNER, P. J. ARMSTRONG, J.
