OPINION
Before Cornell, Acting P.J., Gomes, J., and Kane, J.
On April 9, 2008, Cynthia Donez was working security at the Tachi Palace Casino. At approximately 2:45 a.m., she observed appellant, Enrique Navarro, Jr., and Alberto Montejano through a surveillance camera in an elevator appear to exchange cash for drugs. Kings County Sheriff Deputy Benjamin Moore was dispatched to the casino and contacted Montejano. He subsequently found a glass pipe and a small quantity of methamphetamine on Montejano’s person. Navarro was contacted by Deputy Scott Ward. During a consensual search, Ward found a glass pipe and a small amount of methamphetamine on Navarro’s person.
On May 6, 2008, the district attorney filed an information charging Navarro with the sale of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11379, subd. (a)), possession of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code. § 11377, subd. (a)), and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia (Health & Saf. Code, § 11364). The information also alleged two prior conviction enhancements (Health & Saf. Code 11370.2, subd. (c)) and two prior prison term enhancements (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (a)).
On June 6, 2008, the court heard and denied Navarro’s Marsden motion.
People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118.)
On June 9, 2008, Navarro pled guilty to the sale charge and admitted two prior conviction enhancements in exchange for the dismissal of the remaining counts and enhancements and a stipulated eight-year term, the lower term of two years on the sale offense and two three-year prior conviction enhancements. Additionally, after waiving a presentence report, Navarro requested immediate sentencing, and was sentenced to the indicated eight-year term.
Navarro’s appellate counsel has filed a brief which summarizes the facts, with citations to the record, raises no issues, and asks this court to independently review the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Navarro has not responded to this court’s invitation to submit additional briefing.
Following independent review of the record we find that no reasonably arguable factual or legal issues exist.
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
