P. v. Walker
Shaylene Lorraine Walker appeals a judgment of conviction entered after she pleaded nolo contendere to two counts of possession of drugs for sale, and two counts of possession of drugs. (Health & Saf. Code, 11378, 11350, subd. (a).) We appointed counsel to represent her in this appeal. After counsel's examination of the record, he filed an opening brief raising no issues. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.) On September 24, 2008, we advised Walker that she had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that she wished to raise on appeal. We received a response from her contending that the trial court improperly denied a motion to suppress evidence raised by a codefendant in which she joined, and that her four-year prison term is excessive. She also requests to withdraw her plea and proceed to trial. Pursuant to People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 123-124, we present a factual and procedural summary of the case, and a brief discussion of Walker's contentions.
