 THE PEOPLE,                                                                                   C097670

                    Plaintiff and Respondent,                                      (Super. Ct. No. CR64393)

           v.

 SOPHIA CHRISTINE WALKER,

                    Defendant and Appellant.

         Defendant Sophia Christine Walker pled no contest to bringing methamphetamine
into jail. Defendant’s appointed counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues and
asking this court to independently review the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979)
25 Cal.3d 436. Having done so, we affirm.
                                                  BACKGROUND
         Defendant stipulated to the pre-plea report as the factual basis for her plea. In
August 2022, defendant surrendered herself to Colusa County jail. At intake, she said
she was pregnant and declined an X-ray body scan. Later that day, another inmate
reported defendant brought “something” into the jail. A subsequent body scan and strip

                                                             1
search revealed she had two baggies containing 8.43 grams of methamphetamine secreted
on her person.
       The defendant was charged with bringing a controlled substance into jail.
       Defendant pled no contest.
       The trial court sentenced defendant to the middle term of three years in prison,
imposed a $300 restitution fine, a $40 court operations fee, and a $30 conviction
assessment fee.
                                      DISCUSSION
       We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. Counsel filed an opening
brief setting forth the facts of the case and, pursuant to People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d
436, requesting the court to review the record and determine whether there are any
arguable issues on appeal. Counsel advised defendant of the right to file a supplemental
brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief, and she has not done so.
       After independently reviewing the record, we find no arguable error that would
result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.

                                             2
                                  DISPOSITION
      The judgment is affirmed.
