Filed 11/13/26 P. v. Bono CA4/1 NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN OFFICIAL REPORTS California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(a), prohibits courts and parties from citing or relying on opinions not certified for publication or ordered published, except as specified by rule 8.1115(b). This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115. COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION ONE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE PEOPLE, D087461 Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. SCE433261 v. LOUIS BONO, Defendant and Appellant. APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Herbert J. Exarhos, Judge. Affirmed. Heather E. Shallenberger, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent. A jury convicted Louis Bono of felony possession of methamphetamine for sale (Health & Saf. Code, ยง 11378; count 1) and misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance (ยง 11364; count 2). Bono was sentenced to an aggregate term of two years. Bono filed a timely notice of appeal. Appellate counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 indicating counsel has not been able to identify any arguable issues for reversal. Counsel asks the court to independently review the record for error as mandated by Wende. We advised Bono he could file his own brief on appeal, but he has not responded. As we have noted appellate counsel has not identified any arguable or potentially viable issues for reversal on appeal. We prefer appointed counsel to offer possible appellate issues under the guidance of Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738. (People v. Kent (2014) 229 Cal.App.4th 293, 296.) However, this case is straight-forward and we can determine there are no arguable issues on which appellant can rely. We are satisfied appellate counsel has adequately represented Bono in this appeal. Bonoโ€™s rights in this proceeding have been protected. 2 DISPOSITION The judgment is affirmed.
