IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION SIX
THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. AZUCENA VARELA, Defendant and Appellant. | 2d Crim. No. B198972 (Super. Ct. No. LA053437) (Los Angeles County) |
Azucena Varela appeals from her conviction after jury trial of sale or transportation of cocaine base. (Health & Saf. Code, 11352, subd. (a).) The court suspended imposition of sentence, granted appellant three years' formal probation, and ordered that she serve 180 days in county jail. We affirm.
On September 5, 2006, a Los Angeles Police Department undercover narcotics officer called appellant on her cell phone and spoke with her briefly. The officer then received a telephone call from appellant's companion who asked what he wanted. The officer replied, "50" ("street vernacular for $50 worth of narcotics") and agreed to meet appellant at a designated parking lot. When the officer arrived there, appellant approached him and sold him cocaine base.
We appointed counsel to represent appellant on this appeal. After examining the record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues and requesting this court to independently examine the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.
On August 9, 2007, we advised appellant that she had 30 days in which to submit a written brief or letter raising any contentions or arguments she wished us to consider. Appellant did not respond.
We have examined the entire record. We are satisfied that appellants attorney has fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
