              IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

                                       FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT

                                                  DIVISION FIVE

THE PEOPLE,
         Plaintiff and Respondent,
                                                                     A142782
v.
KAMARA MARIE PAGE,                                                   (Mendocino County Superior Court
                                                                     Nos. 13-75409, 13-75416, and
         Defendant and Appellant.                                    14-77567)

         Defendant and appellant Kamara Marie Page pled no contest to criminal counts
and enhancement allegations in three criminal cases. The trial court imposed a total
sentence of seven years in the three cases, including two years in county jail followed by
five years of mandatory supervision. Appellant’s counsel has raised no issue on appeal
and asks this court for an independent review of the record to determine whether there are
any arguable issues. (Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738; People v. Wende (1979)
25 Cal. 3d 436.) Appellant has not filed a supplemental brief. We find no arguable issues
and affirm.

                                          PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
         A February 21, 2014 information (case no. 13-75409) charged appellant with
being an accessory after the fact to attempted murder (Pen. Code § 32).1 Another
February 21 information (case no. 13-75416) charged appellant with possession for sale

                                                             1
of methamphetamine (Health and Saf. Code § 11378). A June 17 complaint (case no. 14-
77567) charged appellant with two counts of failure to appear after being charged with a
felony (§ 1320.5), with allegations appellant was on bail (§12022.1). Appellant pled no
contest to each of the counts in the three criminal cases and admitted two on-bail
allegations.
       At sentencing on the three cases, the section 32 accessory after the fact case was
designated as the principal case. Appellant was sentenced to a three-year aggravated
term on that count. Appellant received an 8-month consecutive sentence for the violation
of Health and Safety Code section 11378. The trial court imposed two consecutive 8
month sentences on the two violations of section 1320.5 for failure to appear. The court
imposed a consecutive 2 year term on one of the section 12022.1 on-bail allegations; the
second section 12022.1 allegation was stricken.
       Appellant’s sentence on all charges totaled 7 years. Pursuant to its discretion
under section 1170, subdivision (h)(5)(B), the trial court ordered appellant to spend two
years in custody followed by five years of mandatory supervision.
       Appellant filed a notice of appeal in each of the three cases, specifying the appeal
was based “on the sentence or other matters occurring after the plea that do not affect the
validity of the plea.”
                                  FACTUAL BACKGROUND
       According to the preliminary hearing transcript in case number 13-75409, a person
named Walter Kristopher Miller was convicted of attempted murder of a peace officer.
At his trial, Miller testified that after the incident resulting in the attempted murder
charge, he texted appellant and asked to be picked up. Appellant arrived in a car being
driven by someone else and took Miller to a motel room. Appellant admitted to a
sheriff’s investigator that she was aware of the incident but still went to Miller’s location
to help him avoid capture by the police.
       According to the probation report’s summary regarding case number 13-75416,
law enforcement officers discovered in a hotel room occupied by appellant and others

                                               2
two baggies containing methamphetamine, used hypodermic needles, and various cell
phones.
       According to the probation report’s summary regarding case number 14-77567, on
May 28, 2014 appellant was on bail and failed to appear for judgment and sentencing on
the two other criminal cases.
                                        DISCUSSION
       Appellant’s no contest plea restricts the scope of the appeal before us. Because
appellant did not request a certificate of probable cause, her appeal is limited to “postplea
claims, including sentencing issues, that do not challenge the validity of the plea.”
(People v. Cuevas (2008) 44 Cal. 4th 374, 379; People v. Brown (2010) 181 Cal. App. 4th
356, 359-360.)
       We have independently reviewed the record and have found no arguable appellate
issues. Under People v. Correa (2012) 54 Cal. 4th 331, 340-341, it was proper for the
trial court to impose consecutive sentences for the two section 1320.5 counts based on a
single act of failing to appear.
       Appellate counsel advised appellant of her right to file a supplemental brief to
bring to this court’s attention any issue she believes deserves review. (People v. Kelly
(2006) 40 Cal. 4th 106.) Appellant did not file a supplemental brief. There are no legal
issues that require further briefing.

                                        DISPOSITION

       The judgment is affirmed.

                                              3
                  SIMONS, Acting P.J.

We concur.
