                                      SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

THE PEOPLE,                                                          H039378

         Plaintiff and Respondent,                                   Super. Ct. No. C1230688)

         v.

ANTHONY LEONARD ANTON,

         Defendant and Appellant.

         Defendant Anthony Leonard Anton was charged with failure to register as a sex
offender within five days after moving to a residence (Pen. Code, § 290.011, subd. (b) –
count one), possession of hydrocodone (Health & Saf. Code, § 11350, subd. (a) – count
two), and destroying or concealing evidence (Pen. Code, § 135 – count three). Pursuant
to a negotiated agreement, defendant pleaded no contest to misdemeanor failure to
provide information on a registration document (Pen. Code, § 290.018, subd. (j)),
possession of hydrocodone, and destroying or concealing evidence. The parties
stipulated that there was a factual basis for the pleas in the police reports.
         At the sentencing hearing, defendant requested a continuance to permit him to
produce a prescription for Vicodin that he had at the time of his arrest, and then the
prosecutor and the court could consider allowing defendant to withdraw his plea to the
felony charge and plead to a misdemeanor charge. The trial court and the prosecutor
agreed that if defendant produced a prescription, the court would consider a request to
vacate defendant’s plea and allow him to plead to a misdemeanor charge. Defendant also
sought a continuance to allow him to seek a second opinion by private counsel as to
whether he could challenge the probation department’s intent to seek GPS monitoring as
a condition of probation. The trial court indicated that this would not be grounds for
withdrawing his plea, and denied the continuance.
       The trial court pronounced judgment, suspending imposition of sentence and
placing defendant on probation for two years. Conditions of probation included serving
304 days in county jail, with credit for time served, and wearing any GPS device as
required by the probation officer. The trial court also imposed various fines and fees,
including: a possession of controlled substances fine of $1,000 (Health & Saf. Code,
§ 11350, subd. (d)); a restitution fine of $240 plus 10 percent administrative fee (Pen.
Code, § 1202.4); a criminal laboratory analysis fee of $50 (Health & Saf. Code,
§ 11372.5); a drug program fee of $150 (Health & Saf. Code, § 11372.7); and an AIDS
education fine not to exceed $70 (Health & Saf. Code, § 11350, subd. (c)). The trial
court also found that defendant had no ability to pay any discretionary fines and fees, and
thus did not order them.
       On April 18, 2013, this court granted defendant’s relief from default and permitted
him to file a notice of appeal within 10 days. Defendant filed his notice of appeal on
April 25, 2013.
       Appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief that states the case and
relevant facts but raises no issues. Defendant was notified of his right to submit written
argument on his own behalf, but he has failed to avail himself of the opportunity.
Pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal. 3d 436, we have reviewed the entire record
and have concluded that there are no arguable issues on appeal.
       The judgment is affirmed.
