P. v. Perez
Pursuant to a plea agreement, on November 7, 2011, appellant, Jose A. Perez, pled guilty to possession of methamphetamine for purposes of sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378; count I) and possession of oxycodone for purposes of sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11351; count II), and admitted allegations that he had suffered a “strikeâ€[1] and that he had served a prison term for a prior felony conviction (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)). On December 5, 2011, the court imposed the stipulated sentence of eight years four months, consisting of three years on count II and eight months on count I, each term doubled pursuant to the three strikes law (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subd. (e)(1), 1170.12, subd. (c)(1)), for a total of seven years four months on the substantive offenses, plus one year on the prior prison term enhancement.
On February 8, 2012, appellant filed a notice of appeal. By its order of July 6, 2012, this court deemed the notice of appeal timely filed. Insofar as the record reveals, appellant did not request, and the court did not issue, a certificate of probable cause (Pen. Code, § 1237.5).
Appellant’s appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief which summarizes the pertinent facts, with citations to the record, raises no issues, and asks that this court independently review the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Appellant, apparently in response to this court’s invitation to submit supplemental briefing, has submitted a brief in which he argues that the court erred by not advising him of the direct consequences of his plea. We affirm.
