This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115. (Los Angeles County Super. Ct.

No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

____________________

Defendant and appellant Lela R. Dennis pleaded no contest to a charge of exhibiting a deadly weapon to a police officer in violation of Penal Code section 417.8. The trial court sentenced defendant to three years in state prison.

Defendant filed a notice of appeal from the judgment after a guilty plea and checked the box on the appeal form indicating the appeal was based on the sentence or other matters occurring after the plea. We appointed counsel for defendant on appeal. On March 21, 2018, counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, raising no issues but asking this court to independently review the record for error.

We advised defendant on March 22, 2018, of her right to file a brief or letter containing any issues she wishes this court to consider. No response has been received to date.

We have examined the entire record and find no arguable issues on appeal. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 278-284; People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.)

The judgment is affirmed.
