IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

Defendant Geno Mathews appeals from a judgment entered after the trial court found him guilty of one felony count of possession of a deadly weapon by a prisoner (Pen. Code, § 4502, subd. (a)) and found the prior conviction allegation to be true (Pen. Code §1170.12, subd. (c)). After the trial court sentenced defendant to four years in prison, he filed a timely notice of appeal. We appointed counsel to represent defendant in this court.

Appointed counsel filed an opening brief which stated the case and the facts but raised no specific issues. We notified defendant of his right to submit written argument in his own behalf within 30 days, but we received no written argument from defendant. After independent review of the record, we asked counsel for further briefing. Upon further consideration of the record and the supplemental briefing submitted by both parties, we now conclude there is no arguable issue on appeal pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.

Disposition

The judgment is affirmed.
