P. v. Granda
Defendant John Jay Granda appeals from judgment entered after he pled no contest to felony burglary (Pen. Code, 459, 460, subd. (a)) and misdemeanor possession of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, 11377, subd. (a)) in exchange for a maximum sentence of nine years and dismissal of an additional charge of possession of a stolen bicycle. Defendant also admitted one of two alleged strike priors and one serious felony prior. (Pen. Code, 667, subd. (a), 1170.12.) In response to a Romero motion (People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497), opposed by the People, the trial court dismissed the remaining strike and sentenced defendant to seven years in state prison. This appeal ensued.
Court appointed counsel to represent defendant in this court. Appointed counsel filed an opening brief which states the case and the facts but raises no specific issues. We notified defendant of his right to submit written argument on his own behalf within 30 days. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) There was no reply.
