NOT TO BE PUBLISHED
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County No. SA059527, James R. Dabney, Judge. Affirmed.
Janice Wellborn, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
VOGEL, Acting P.J.
A police officer saw Victor Monroe drive his car abruptly across three traffic lanes without signaling and come to a stop. Because this action was a Vehicle Code violation and the officer was concerned about Monroe’s safety, he drove his patrol car behind Monroe, stopped, and got out. When the officer approached Monroe, he detected an odor of marijuana and in a consensual search of the car found two plastic bags, one with marijuana, the other containing 28.3 grams of cocaine base. Monroe was charged with one count each of possession for sale of cocaine base and transportation of cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 11351.5, 11352, subd. (a)), but was convicted by a jury of the transportation count only. Imposition of sentence was suspended and Monroe was fined and placed on formal probation for three years, with a condition of probation that he serve 180 days in jail.
Monroe filed a notice of appeal, and we appointed appellate counsel to represent him. After reviewing the record, appellate counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised. On May 3, 2007, we notified Monroe that he had 30 days within which to submit any issues he wanted us to consider. Monroe has not responded. Based on our independent examination of the record, we are satisfied that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106.)
The judgment is affirmed.
We concur: ROTHSCHILD, J. JACKSON, J.
Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court, assigned by the Chief Justice pursuant to article VI, section 6 of the California Constitution.
