CLINTON ANTOINE ROACH,

Defendant and Appellant.

Appointed counsel for defendant Clinton Antoine Roach asked this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.

containing 34.3 grams of methamphetamine, a plastic baggie containing 0.7 grams of methamphetamine, a digital scale, two cellphones, and $123. Defendant was charged in Shasta County Superior Court case No. 21F03507 (case No. 3507) with possession for sale of a controlled substance, methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378; count 1).2 The information alleged a prior strike conviction (Pen. Code, § 1170.12) and several factors in aggravation (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 4.421(b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(5)).3 In July 2021, Redding police officers contacted defendant in a parked car in an area known for drug sales. He had an active felony warrant at the time. A baggie with a dark substance consistent with heroin was seen sticking out of his back pocket, and when officers searched him, they found a baggie containing methamphetamine, which defendant spontaneously admitted was his. A further search revealed tinfoil containing heroin as well as $442 in mostly $20 bills. The methamphetamine weighed 4.1 grams, and the heroin weighed 20.5 grams. Defendant told police he uses methamphetamine twice a day but does not use heroin. Based on this incident, defendant was charged in Shasta County Superior Court case No. 22F00999 (case No. 0999) with possession for sale of a controlled substance, heroin (§ 11351; count 1), sale or transportation of a controlled substance, heroin (§ 11352, subd. (a); count 2), and misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine (§ 11377, subd. (a); count 3). The information alleged a prior strike conviction (Pen. Code, § 1170.12), that defendant was on bail or released on his own recognizance in case No. 3507 when he committed the offenses (Pen. Code, § 12022.1, subd. (b)), and multiple aggravating factors under rule 4.421.
