DIVISION SIX
THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. MICHAEL PAUL STAFFORD, Defendant and Appellant. | 2d Crim. No. B194401 (Super. Ct. Nos. 2005029362 & 2006013159 (Ventura County) |
Michael Paul Stafford appeals an order terminating probation granted pursuant to Penal Code section 1210.1 ("Proposition 36"), and granting formal probation with terms and conditions in Cases Nos. 2005029362 and 2006013159.
In Case No. 2005029362, the prosecutor charged Stafford with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. (Health & Saf. Code, 11377, subd. (a) & 11364.)[1] On February 23, 2006, Stafford was advised of and waived his constitutional rights and pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine. The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Stafford on probation pursuant to Proposition 36, with terms and conditions. The trial court dismissed the remaining count.
In Case No. 2006013159, the prosecutor charged Stafford with possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and being under the influence of a controlled substance. ( 11377, subd. (a), 11364, & 11550, subd. (a).) The prosecutor also alleged that Stafford suffered two prior felony convictions pursuant to Penal Code section 1203, subdivision (e)(4). On April 19, 2006, Stafford waived his constitutional rights and pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine, and admitted suffering two prior felony convictions. The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Stafford on probation pursuant to Proposition 36, with terms and conditions. The trial court dismissed the remaining counts.
On March 29, 2006, and September 22, 2006, Stafford admitted to violating probation. The trial court terminated the Proposition 36 probation, and granted Stafford formal probation with terms and conditions, including confinement in the county jail.
We appointed counsel to represent Stafford in this appeal. After counsel's examination of the record, she filed an opening brief raising no issues.
On March 2, 2007, we advised Stafford that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that he wished to raise on appeal. We have not received a response.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Stafford's attorney has fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
