Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. TA099481
THE COURT:Gregory Griggs appeals from the order granting probation entered following a jury trial that resulted in his conviction of possession of a controlled substance, in violation of Health and Safety Code section 11350, a lesser offense of section 11351.5, with which he was charged. Appellant admitted a prior strike pursuant to Penal Code sections 667, subdivisions (b) through (i) and 1170.12, subdivisions (a) through (d), which the trial court struck pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497. Appellant admitted to six prison priors pursuant to Penal Code section 667.5, subdivision (b). On May 5, 2009, the trial court sentenced appellant to the high term of three years plus six years for the six 1-year prison priors admitted, for a total of a nine-year suspended sentence. The trial court placed appellant on five years of formal probation and ordered him to enroll in and complete a two-year residential treatment program.
All further statutory references are to the Health and Safety Code unless otherwise indicated.
Appellant’s conviction arose out of the following facts. On August 31, 2008, a Los Angeles Police Department officer responded to a residential burglary call in Compton. Through the hole of a missing doorknob to an outer door, one of the officers saw appellant moving around off-white, rock-like substances on a kitchen table. The officer demanded that appellant open the door, at which point appellant stated he needed to get permission from the owner and closed the inner door to the residence. After some delay, appellant opened the door and was detained. Three other people were found in the two bedrooms of the house. The officers recovered off-white rocks from the kitchen floor. The substance was later determined to be cocaine.
We appointed counsel to represent appellant on this appeal.
After examination of the record, counsel filed an “Opening Brief” in which no issues were raised. On March 2, 2010, we advised appellant that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues which he wished us to consider. No response has been received to date.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that appellant’s attorney has fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment (order granting probation) is affirmed.
