THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. JACK DALE SOVEREIGN, Defendant and Appellant.
Jack Sovereign appeals from a judgment of conviction entered upon a plea of guilty. Appellants court-appointed counsel has briefed no issues and asks this court to review the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.
An amended complaint filed in the consolidated court for Humboldt County charged appellant with the sales or transportation of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11379, subd. (a)).[] The complaint further alleged that appellant served two separate prior prison terms, each a sentencing enhancement (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)).
Appellant pleaded guilty as charged (§ 11379, subd. (a)) and admitted both enhancements (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)) with the understanding that the court would stay a six-year commitment to state prison.
The court sentenced appellant to the aggravated term of four years in state prison for the transportation or sales of methamphetamine (& sect; 11379, subd. (a)) and enhanced the term by one year for each of two admitted prior prison terms (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)). Thus, the aggregate term totaled six years. The court then stayed execution of sentence for a period of five years. The court ordered appellant to pay a $1,200 restitution fine and ultimately granted him 100 days total presentence credit.
Before appellant entered his plea, the court advised him of the constitutional rights he would be waiving and the direct consequences of his plea. Appellant expressly waived his constitutional rights and knowingly and voluntarily pleaded guilty and admitted the special allegations.
Appellant was represented by counsel throughout the proceedings.
There was no sentencing error.
There are no issues that require further briefing.
The judgment is affirmed.
We concur: Stevens, Acting P. J. and Simons, J. --------------- Notes: Unless otherwise indicated, all statutory references are to the Health and Safety Code.
