IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. RONALD PAUL WREATH, Defendant and Appellant. | H033381 (Santa Clara County Super. Ct. No. 211208) |
Defendant Ronald Paul Wreath worked in concert with 16 other codefendants as a member of the Nuestra Familia criminal street gang. He appeals from a judgment entered after he pleaded no contest to one count conspiracy to commit a crime (Pen. Code, 182, subd. (a)(1)), one count possession of methamphetamine for sale (Health & Saf. Code, 11378) and one count possession of a firearm by a felon. (Pen. Code, 12021, subd. (a)(1).) He also admitted enhancements on these various counts for committing the offense in furtherance of a criminal street gang (Pen. Code, 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(A)), and committing the offense while armed (Pen. Code, 12022, subd. (c)). He further admitted two prior felony convictions within the meaning of Health and Safety Code section 11370.2 subdivision (c) and two prison priors within the meaning of Penal Code section 667.5, subdivision (b).) The trial court sentenced defendant to eight years and four months in prison. This timely appeal ensued. Despite joining in several requests for continuances and acknowledging that he had waived time, defendant sought a certificate of probable cause, asserting that his right to a speedy trial had been violated. The trial court granted the request.
On appeal, we appointed counsel to represent defendant in this court. Appointed counsel filed an opening brief which stated the case and the facts but raised no specific issues. We notified defendant of his right to submit written argument in his own behalf within 30 days. This time has elapsed and we have received no written argument from defendant.
On September, 10, 2009, this court requested that appellate counsel submit a further brief addressing the factual and procedural history underlying the claim raised in the certificate of probable cause. On October 5, 2009, appellant filed a supplemental brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. We have reviewed the entire record as well as both briefs filed by appellant and have concluded that there is no arguable issue on appeal.
Disposition
The judgment is affirmed.
