COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v. (Super. Ct. No. SCE423820)

DAVID VAZQUEZ,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Daniel B. Goldstein, Judge. Affirmed. Joshua Peter Visco, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance by Plaintiff and Respondent. MEMORANDUM OPINION David Vazquez appeals from a judgment of conviction and sentence. His appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v.

A jury convicted Vazquez of driving under the influence (DUI) (Veh.
