THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. DARRELL EASTON NEWELL, Defendant and Appellant.
California Appellate Project, Jonathan B. Steiner, Executive Director, and Richard B. Lennon, Staff Attorney, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance, for Plaintiff and Respondent.
Darrell Easton Newell appeals an order revoking his probation and sentencing him to a prison term of five years.
On October 24, 2002, Newell pleaded guilty to transportation of methamphetamine and he admitted suffering two prior convictions for narcotic offenses. (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 11379, subd. (a), 11370.2, subd. (c).) The trial court granted Newell five years of formal probation with terms and conditions that included 365 days in the county jail.
On January 6, 2003, the trial court found Newell in violation of the terms and conditions of probation because he did not report to his probation officer and because he used and possessed methamphetamine. Newell admitted violating the terms of probation as alleged in the revocation notice. The trial court revoked probation and sentenced Newell to five years imprisonment.
We appointed counsel to represent Newell in this appeal. After counsels examination of the record, he filed an opening brief raising no issues.
On June 4, 2003, we advised Newell that he had 30 days in which to personally submit any contentions that he wished to raise on appeal. We have not received a response from him.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Newells attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441, 158 Cal. Rptr. 839, 600 P.2d 1071.)
The judgment is affirmed.
We concur: COFFEE, J. PERREN, J.
