Opinion


THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. RAYNARD LAVELLE WELLS, Defendant and Appellant. D051415 California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, First Division February 27, 2008

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County Super. Ct. No. SCD203992, Frederick Maguire, Judge.

IRION, J.

Raynard Lavelle Wells entered a negotiated guilty plea to possession of cocaine for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11351.5) and admitted he had served a prior prison term (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)). The trial court sentenced Wells to the four-year prison term stipulated in the plea agreement.

FACTS

On January 9, 2007, an undercover police officer arranged to purchase rock cocaine from one of Wells's codefendants in the 3000 block of Imperial Avenue. Wells drove another codefendant to that location and delivered two pieces of rock cocaine, which weighed .31 grams and .35 grams, respectively, to the undercover officer. Wells then drove away. When arrested later, Wells had $2,405 in his possession. Officers found a total of .66 grams of cocaine base and 3.10 grams of methamphetamine in the vehicle.

DISCUSSION

Appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief setting forth evidence in the superior court. Counsel presents no argument for reversal, but asks that this court review the record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Pursuant to Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, counsel refers to as possible, but not arguable, issues: (1) whether Wells was properly advised of his constitutional rights and the consequences of pleading guilty; and (2) whether Wells voluntarily waived his rights.

We granted Wells permission to file a brief on his own behalf. He has not responded.

A review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California, supra, 386 U.S. 738, including the possible issues referred to by appellate counsel, has disclosed no reasonably arguable appellate issues. Competent counsel has represented Wells on this appeal.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.

WE CONCUR: McCONNELL, P. J., AARON, J.
