___________________________________
A narcotics task force officer watched Terry Hughes trade an off-white rock-like substance for cash. Hughes was arrested and convicted by a jury of one count of selling a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, 11352, subd. (a)), after which he waived his rights and admitted two prior drug convictions (Health and Saf. Code, 11370.2, subd. (a)) and four prior convictions for which he had served prison terms (Pen. Code, 667.5, subd. (b)). The trial court sentenced Hughes to state prison for seven years (midterm of four years, plus three consecutive years for one of the Health and Safety Code priors).
Hughes filed a notice of appeal, and we appointed appellate counsel to represent him. After reviewing the record, appellate counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised. On February 27, 2007, we notified Hughes that he had 30 days within which to submit any issues he wanted us to consider. Hughes has not responded. Based on our independent examination of the record, we are satisfied that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106.)
The judgment is affirmed.
