I



FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND



On November 17, 2006, defendant, represented by counsel, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, 11377, subd. (a)); in return, the remaining allegations were dismissed, and defendant was promised a grant of formal probation under Proposition 36. The parties stipulated that there was a factual basis for the plea. On the same day, in accordance with the negotiated disposition, defendant was placed on formal probation under various terms and conditions, including completing a drug program. Proceedings were then continued to December 8, 2006, for proof of enrollment.[1]



On December 8, 2006, defendant failed to appear, a warrant was issued for his arrest, and probation was revoked.



On January 10, 2007, defendant filed a notice of appeal from the November 17, 2006, judgment. He also requested a certificate of probable cause, which was granted on January 22, 2007.

ANALYSIS



Defendant appealed, and upon his request this court appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 [87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493] setting forth a statement of the case, a summary of the facts, and potential arguable issues and requesting this court to undertake a review of the entire record.



We offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, and he has not done so.



We have now concluded our independent review of the record and find no arguable issues.

DISPOSITION



The judgment is affirmed.

* Although the minute order indicates that Judge David B. Downing presided over the November 17, 2006, hearing, it appears from the reporters transcript and the signature on the plea form that Judge Pro Tem Schaeffer actually presided over that proceeding.



[1] Defendant was not ordered released, as he had an Orange County hold on him at the jail. Following the plea, defendant was transferred to Orange County.
