DIVISION FIVE

THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. BENJAMIN T. MITCHELL, Defendant and Appellant.

B202986 (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. BA318540)

William N. Sterling, Judge. Affirmed.

_

Benjamin Mitchell appeals from the judgment entered after his plea of guilty to a violation of Health and Safety Code section 11350, subdivision (a), possession of a controlled substance, and his admission that he had suffered a prior conviction for a violation of Penal Code section 211. He also admitted to a violation of the probation previously imposed on him. Pursuant to a plea agreement, he was sentenced to 32 months in state prison. We appointed counsel to represent him on appeal.

After examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised. On or before April 17, 2008, appellant's counsel transmitted a copy of the opening brief and the record on appeal to appellant and advised him that he could submit a supplemental brief in his own behalf.

On April 22, 2008, we advised appellant that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues which he wished us to consider. No response has been received from appellant to date.

We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that appellant's attorney has fully complied with her responsibilities and no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)

The judgment is affirmed.
