P. v. Russell
Defendant Keith Allen Russell pled guilty to possession of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, 11378) and admitted to prior drug convictions (Health & Saf. Code, 11370.2, subd. (d)) and being armed with a firearm in the commission of a drug offense (Pen. Code, 12022, subd. (c)). The trial court sentenced defendant to a two-year middle term for possession of methamphetamine, two 3-year terms for the prior convictions, and a four-year term for the firearm enhancement for a total term of 12 years in prison. The court also imposed a laboratory analysis fee of $157.50, a restitution fine of $2,400, and a stayed $2,400 parole revocation fine. Two hundred ninety-four days of credit (196 actual time and 98 days good conduct) were awarded. On November 12, 2005, around 11:17 p.m., defendant was subjected to a traffic stop for having no front license plate on his car. He was found to be on probation and officers searched the car, finding 85.3 grams of methamphetamine, 19.4 grams of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, over $300 in cash, and a loaded .22-caliber firearm. After being given a Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 [16 L.Ed.2d 694] warning, defendant said he frequently [a]llowed the Mexicans to use his vehicle to make runs to Turlock, California in exchange for money and dope. He admitted owning the marijuana, but denied knowing about the methamphetamine or the firearm.Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant. The judgment is affirmed.
