P. v. Jennings
Rodney Demetrius Jennings appeals from a judgment entered after he was convicted by a jury of misdemeanor assault on a police officer, resisting an executive officer, and possession of a controlled substance.
While on routine patrol on October 12, 2006, Los Angeles County Sheriffs Deputy R. Dean and his partner drove by a parked minivan. Jennings was in the drivers seat with the window open. Dean smelled the odor of marijuana emanating from the hand-rolled cigarette Jennings was smoking. Dean stopped the patrol car next to the minivan. When Dean approached the drivers side of the minivan, he saw Jennings reach his right hand towards the area below the dashboard. Dean ordered Jennings to toss out the cigarette and to alight from the minivan. Jennings complied, and Dean retrieved the cigarette and determined that it contained marijuana. Court have examined the entire record and are satisfied Jenningss attorney has fully complied with the responsibilities of counsel and no arguable issues exist.
