Opinion
B163613.
10-30-2003
Jonathan B. Steiner and Ronnie Duberstein, under appointments by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
William Lewis appeals from judgment entered following his guilty plea to possession of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, § 11350, subd. (a)) and the denial of his motion to suppress evidence pursuant to Penal Code section 1538.5.
After review of the record, appellants court-appointed counsel filed an opening brief requesting this court to independently review the record pursuant to the holding of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.
On August 18, 2003, 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 no arguable issues exist, and that appellant has, by virtue of counsels compliance with the Wende procedure and our review of the record, received adequate and effective appellate review of the judgment entered against him in this case. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 278.)
