IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FIFTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

THE COURT^*

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Tulare County. Elisabeth B. Krant, Judge.

Appellant, Martin Pedro Flores, pled no contest to possession of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)) and admitted allegations that he had a prior conviction within the meaning of the three strikes law (Pen. Code, § 667, subds. (b)-(i)). On June 22, 2005, the court sentenced appellant to a 32-month term, the low term of 16 months, doubled to 32 months because of Flores's prior strike conviction.

Flores's appellate counsel has filed a brief which summarizes the facts, with citations to the record, raises no issues, and asks this court to independently review the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Flores has not responded to this court's invitation to submit additional briefing.

Following independent review of the record we find that no reasonably arguable factual or legal issues exist.

The judgment is affirmed.
