IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT (Butte) ----

THE PEOPLE, C102571

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. 21CF06492)

v.

SCOTT ALLEN DAVIDSONPORTER,

Defendant and Appellant.

Appointed counsel for defendant Scott Allen Davidsonporter asked this court to review the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) We affirm. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND The appeal is taken from a plea agreement. The parties stipulated the trial court could “draw a factual basis from the probation reports.” Accordingly, we derive the facts of the offense from the probation report.

In 2021, the Butte Interagency Narcotics Task Force (Task Force) received information that defendant was selling illegal narcotics and/or firearms. The Task Force obtained a search warrant for defendant’s home and, on November 17, 2021, executed that warrant. Inside defendant’s home the Task Force found two bags of methamphetamines (1.97 grams and 8 grams net weight, respectively), a cellular phone, several handguns, a “short-barreled AR-15 style rifle,” a “rifle action,” digital scales, and a “black soft case” that contained 300 grams of methamphetamines and 25 grams of cocaine. The Task Force also found a locked safe in the house, inside of which they found three more handguns and “several shotguns and/or rifles.” The prosecution subsequently charged defendant with possession of cocaine for purposes of sale, possession of methamphetamines for purposes of sale, unlawful possession of ammunition, possession of a firearm by a felon, and possession of a short‑barreled rifle or shotgun. In July 2024, defendant pled no contest to possession of cocaine for the purpose of sale and being a felon in possession of a firearm. In exchange for his plea, the trial court dismissed the remaining charges with a Harvey1 waiver. At sentencing, the trial court denied defendant’s request for probation and sentenced him to prison for the middle term of three years for the cocaine possession count and a consecutive eight months (one-third the middle term) for the unlawful firearm possession count. The court ordered defendant to pay the minimum restitution fine and imposed but stayed the matching parole revocation restitution fine. The court also ordered defendant to pay an $80 court operations assessment, along with a $60 conviction assessment, and awarded him one day of custody credit.
