P. v. Ruffin
A jury convicted appellant Shannon Ruffin of driving while under the influence of alcohol (Veh. Code, 23152, subd. (a);[1]count 1), driving while his driving privilege was suspended or revoked ( 14601.1, subd. (a); count 2) and willful obstruction of a peace officer in the performance of official duties (Pen. Code, 148, subd. (a)(1); count 3) and appellant admitted that within the previous 10 years he had suffered a conviction of violating section 23152, subdivision (a), thereby making the count 1 offense a felony under section 23505.5. In a separate proceeding, appellant admitted allegations that he had served four separate prison terms for prior felony convictions (Pen. Code, 667.5, subd. (b)).
The court imposed a prison term of six years, consisting of the two-year midterm on count 1 and one year on each of the four prior prison term enhancements. The court imposed concurrent 180 day county jail terms on each of counts 2 and 3.
Appellants appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief which summarizes the pertinent facts, with citations to the record, raises no issues, and asks that this court independently review the record. (Peoplev.Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d. 436.) Appellant has not responded to this courts invitation to submit additional briefing.
Court have independently reviewed the record and based on that review we have concluded that no reasonably arguable legal or factual issues exist. The judgment is affirmed.
