_________________________________

Kevin Vincent Brooks appeals from judgment entered after conviction following his negotiated plea of no contest to possession of heroin for sale. The court sentenced him to four years in prison, as provided in the plea agreement.

We appointed counsel to represent Brooks on appeal. After examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues and asking this court to independently review the record. On December 30, 2005, we advised Brooks he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues he wished us to consider. We subsequently extended the deadline for appellant's supplemental brief to March 1, 2006. To date, we have received no response.

We have examined the entire record and are satisfied Brooks's attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)

DISPOSITION
