P. v. Gilbert CA1/4
Defendant Dennis Virgil Gilbert appeals a judgment entered upon his plea of no contest to possessing an illegal weapon. His counsel has filed an opening brief raising no issues and asking this court for an independent review of the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant has been apprised of his right to personally file a supplemental brief, but he has not done so.
Defendant was charged with one count of felony possession of an illegal weapon, a billy club (Pen. Code, § 22210; count one) and one count of misdemeanor driving without a license (Veh. Code, § 12500, subd. (a); count two). The complaint alleged defendant had suffered four prior serious or violent felony “strike” convictions (§§ 667, subd. (d) & 1170.12, subd. (b)) and had served five prior prison terms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)).
