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

THE PEOPLE, C078336

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. 13F7296)

v.

JESSE JAMES COFFMAN,

Defendant and Appellant.

Following his pleas of guilty to possession of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for sale, and his admission of various enhancement allegations, the trial court sentenced defendant Jesse James Coffman to seven years in prison. Defendant’s appointed counsel has 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 (Wende).) Finding no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant, we affirm the judgment. We provide the following brief

description of the facts and procedural history of the case. (See People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110, 124.) BACKGROUND In October 2013, officers went to an apartment to serve a search warrant and saw defendant leaving. One of the officers searched defendant and found 7.6 grams of methamphetamine in his pocket. Defendant told officers he was an addict and admitted the methamphetamine belonged to him (case No. 13F7296). Approximately five months later, defendant was a passenger in a car stopped by Redding police officers. He was fidgeting and appeared to be trying to conceal something. A records check revealed defendant had outstanding warrants for his arrest. Upon exiting the vehicle, defendant told the officers he had methamphetamine in his pocket. A search revealed a baggie containing 0.8 grams of methamphetamine (case No. 14F1314). In case No. 14F1314,1 defendant pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)), admitted a prior conviction for assault with a deadly weapon as an enhancement (Pen. Code, § 1170.12),2 and admitted he had committed the current offense while released on bail (§ 12022.1). In case No. 13F7296, defendant pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378), and admitted the enhancement allegations that he had a prior conviction for assault with a deadly weapon (§ 1170.12), and had served a prior prison term (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). The parties agreed the maximum sentence the trial court could impose in both cases was 10 years four months.
