P. v. Thornton
Steve Thornton (appellant) appeals from a judgment entered following his negotiated plea of no contest to possession of cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code 11350(a).) and his admission of two of six charged priors. (Pen. Code 667.5 (b).) As promised, appellant was sentenced to state prison for five years, consisting of the upper three-year term for the new offense and a year for each prior. Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal and we appointed counsel. On October 17, 2008, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues. On the same date the clerk of this court notified appellant by letter that he had 30 days to submit any contentions or arguments. Thornton has not responded, but we have considered the claims suggested by his application for the certificate of probable cause.
