P. v. Melendez CA2/5
A jury convicted defendant Juan Pablo Melendez of methamphetamine possession for sale. (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378.) The trial court found true allegations that defendant had a prior first degree burglary conviction (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subd. (d), 1170.12, subd. (b)) and had served a prior separate prison term (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). The trial court sentenced defendant to four years in state prison.
Defendant’s appointed appellate counsel filed an opening brief in accordance with People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 requesting that we independently review the entire record to determine if there are any arguable issues. On February 1, 2018, we notified defendant that appointed appellate counsel had failed to find any arguable issues and defendant had 30 days within which to independently brief any grounds for appeal, contentions, or arguments he wanted us to consider. More than 30 days elapsed and we received no communication from defendant.
