FACTUAL BACKGROUND
On January 7 , 2013, San Diego Police Detective Christopher Leahy sent a text message to Klabin orderi ng " a half zip " (one

- half ounce) of methamphetamine

. Within 30 seconds, Klabin called Leahy. Detective Joseph Harper answered, posing as the person who had sent the text , and said he was interested in buying half a zip

. Klabin was cautious, but became m ore comfortable when Harper cited names of " people in the dope community. " Klabin said a person named Jose would call Harper and bring him the drugs. Leahy ' s phone rang again. He did not recognize the number. Harper answered
and talked to a male who id entified himself as Jose. After Jose vetted Harper, Harper said he wanted half a zip of methamphetamine

. Jose agreed and said he would be back in

contact

. Leahy received text messages from Jose ' s phone number . Leahy offered to pay $450 and he and Jose arranged a meeting at a 7

- Eleven store on Spruce Street

. Leahy and his team went to the 7

- Eleven. Norris walk ed toward Leahy ' s car . Leahy told Norris, " Hey, meet me over by the red box. " Norris went toward the red box. Leahy identified himself as a police officer and detained Norris. Another officer arrested3

Norris. A search of Norris ' s person yielded one

- half ounce of methamphetamine in a plastic bag and another plastic bag containing a smaller amount. Leahy obtained a search warrant for record s pertaining to the cell phone number Klabin used in their January 7, 2013, communications. Leahy obtained the records in early February. Klabin was listed as the subscriber. The records showed a text message from Leahy on January 7 and, seconds later, an outbound call to Leahy. The records also
showed the phone moved south toward the area of the 7

- Eleven at the relevant times

. The cell phone records listed Klabin ' s address. Further research indicated the
address was Klabin ' s residence. Leahy obtain ed a search warrant. In late February 2013 , he and Harper executed the search warrant at Klabin ' s home

. Under the bed pillows was a box containing a digital scale, methamphetamine pipes, a syringe and approximately 100 grams of methamphetamine in bags

. A backpack in a closet contained approximately $10,000 in cash. Documents in the apartment indicated Klabin had a safety deposit box
at Blue Vault storage facility

. Klabin was arrested. Leahy obtained a search warrant for the safety deposit box. The police searched it and found more than $30,000 in cash ; vials containing liquid ; and a digital scale

. DISCUSSION Appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief summarizing the facts and proceedings below. Counsel presents no argument for reversal, but a sks this court to review the record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 ( Wende ). Pursuant to Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 ( Anders ) counsel
mentions the following as possible , but not arguable issues : (1) as to sectio n 11370.9,4

subdivision (a), whether there is su bstantial evidence Klabin intended to conceal or disguise the nature, location, ownership, control or source of proceeds to avoid a

tr ansaction reporting requirement; (2) whether the court erred by denying Kla bin ' s motion to suppress evidence , whether there were valid grounds for issuing the search warrant,
whether a court can rely on a defendant ' s priors to establish probable cause and whether the evidence relied upon to establish probable cause was stale; (3) whether the court erred by re fus ing to instruct the jury on third party culpability ; (4) whether the court erred by finding Klabin had willingly waived his Miranda rights ( Miranda v. Arizona (1966)
384 U.S. 436 ); (5) whether the court ' s refusal to sever c ounts 1 and 2 from counts 3 and 4
constituted an abuse of discretion; and ( 6 ) whether the court erred by ruling inadmissible
Norris ' s post

- Miranda statement that Klabin was not involved in the January 7, 2013 sale

. We granted Klabin permission to file a brief on his own behalf. He has not responded. A review of the record pursuant to Wende and Anders , including the possible issues listed pursuant to Anders , has disclosed no reasonably arguable appellate issues.
Klabin has been competently represented by appellate counsel.5 DISPOSITION The judgment is affirmed.
