THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. WILLIAM E. PRINCE, Defendant and Appellant.
California Appellate Project, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, Jonathan B. Steiner, Executive Director, and Ronnie Duberstein, Staff Attorney, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
William Prince appeals from the judgment entered upon a finding of violation of probation, originally granted in conjunction with his negotiated plea of no contest to sale or transportation of a controlled substance. Defendant appeared in propria persona at the violation hearing and engaged in a discussion with the trial court about the sentence and the amount of credits he would receive. He then stipulated that he had violated probation. Defendant was sentenced to a lower term of three years in state prison, with total custody credits of 813 days. Defendant appealed and we appointed counsel to represent him.
On July 24, 2003, appointed counsel filed a brief in which no issues were raised. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441-442.) On July 25, 2003, we notified defendant by letter that within 30 days he could personally submit any contentions or issues that he wished us to consider. We extended the time for defendants submission to September 5, 2003, upon declaration of appointed counsel that defendants copy of the record on appeal had inadvertently been sent to an incorrect address but was being resent to defendants correct address. No response has been received to date.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that defendants attorney has fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
We concur SPENCER, P. J., ORTEGA, J.
