IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION FOUR
| THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. JESUS ESPARZA, Defendant and Appellant. | B186812 (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. BA277154) |
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Michael Kellogg, Judge. Affirmed.
Murray A. Rosenberg, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
Jesus Esparza appeals from judgment entered following his no contest plea to possession of ammunition, (Pen. Code, § 12316, subd. (b)(1)) and his admission that he had suffered one prior felony conviction within the meaning of Penal Code sections 1170.12, subdivisions (a) through (d) and 667, subdivisions (b) through (i).) He was sentenced to prison for two years and eight months and requested but was denied a certificate of probable cause.
After review of the record, appellant's court-appointed counsel filed an opening brief requesting this court to independently review the record pursuant to the holding of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.
On February 9, 2006, we advised appellant that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues which he wished us to consider. No response has been received to date.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that no arguable issues exist and that appellant has, by virtue of counsel's compliance with the Wende procedure and our review of the record, received adequate and effective appellate review of the judgment entered against him in this case. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 278.)

The judgment is affirmed.
