_______________________________
On the night of November 27, 2007 Carlos Molina offered to help an undercover officer purchase narcotics. Molina led the officer to the gated entrance of an alley, where the officer had a brief conversation with a man in a wheelchair. The officer was then allowed to enter the alley, accompanied by Molina. They walked up to Diana Bronson, who was seated at a table about 60 feet from the gated entrance. Several rocks of cocaine were on the table. Bronson told the officer she remembered him and asked for his money. After receiving the officers money, Bronson instructed a man sitting next to her to give him two pieces. The man handed the officer two rocks of cocaine from the table. After the officer made his purchase, Molina bought some rock cocaine as well. The officer notified his fellow officers of the transaction and described Bronson and Molina. Shortly thereafter, Bronson and Molina were arrested. During a search incident to Bronsons arrest, police found two glass pipes and more than $115 in cash on her person.
A jury convicted Bronson[1]of selling cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code, 11352, subd. (a)) (count 1) and possession of cocaine base for sale (Health & Saf. Code, 11351.2) (count 2). The trial court sentenced Bronson to the middle term of four years in state prison on count 1 and stayed sentencing on count 2 pursuant to Penal Code section 654.[2]The court ordered Bronson to pay a $20 security assessment, a $50 lab fee and a $200 restitution fine. A parole revocation fine was imposed and suspended pursuant to Penal Code section 1202.45. Bronson received presentence custody credit of 157 days (105 actual days and 52 days of conduct credit).
Bronson timely filed a notice of appeal. We appointed counsel to represent Bronson on appeal. After examination of the record counsel filed an Opening Brief in which no issues were raised. On July 16, 2008 we advised Bronson she had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues she wished us to consider. No response has been received to date.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied Bronsons attorney has fully complied with the responsibilities of counsel and no arguable issues exist. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 277-284 [120 S.Ct. 746, 145 L.Ed.2d 756]; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
