JAMES THOMAS BRENNAN,
    Defendant and Appellant.

                   James Thomas Brennan appeals from a September 18, 2012 order revoking
probation and sentencing him to concurrent three-year state prison terms in case numbers
BA394829 and BA399400.
                   In Case No. BA394829 appellant pled to guilty possession for sale of
cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code, § 11350, subd. (a)) and admitted suffering two prior
strike convictions (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subds. (b)-(i); 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d))1 and three
prior prison term enhancements (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). Pursuant to an March 15, 2012 open
plea agreement, appellant was conditionally released to enroll and complete a one-year
residential drug treatment program at the Los Angeles Transition Center (LATC).
                   On April 18, 2012, the trial court issued a bench warrrant after it received a
letter from LATC reporting that appellant was terminated from the program. The trial
court recalled the bench warrant on April 20, 2012, and ordered appellant to return to
LATC and complete the one-year residential program.

                On July 19, 2012, appellant was held to answer in case number BA399400
after he was arrested on new charges of possession of cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code,
§ 11350, subd. (a).) On August 27, 2012, appellant entered a nolo contendre plea to
possession of cocaine base, admitted suffering two prior strike convictions (§§ 667,
subds. (b)-(i); 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d))2 and four prior prison term enhancements (§ 667.5,
subd. (b)), and admitted that he was out on bail in case number BA394829 when he
committed the offense (§ 12022.1).
                Appellant waived his Arbuckle rights in both cases (People v. Arbuckle
(1978) 22 Cal.3d 749) and was conditionally released to enroll in and complete a one-
year treatment program at First to Serve. Appellant was ordered to return to court on
August 27, 2013, for probation and sentencing. The trial court stated that if appellant
successfully completed the one-year residential treatment program, it would strike the
prior strike enhancements in both cases, grant three years probation in both cases, and
award credit for the time appellant was in the treatment program. Appellant was warned
that "[i]f you don't [complete the residential treatment program], it's an open plea, and I'm
going to send you to prison."
                The trial court ordered the sheriff to deliver appellant to the First to Serve
drug residential treatment program but appellant was dropped off at the Homeless Health
Care Center. On September 7, 2012, the trial court approved appellant's treatment at the
Homeless Healthcare Center and ordered appellant to return to court on October 16,
2012.
                On September 13 2012, motions were filed to revoke probation in Case
Nos. BA394829 and BA399400 after appellant was charged in a third case with
possession of methamphetamine (Case No. BA402534)
                On September 18, 2012, appellant appeared in court and argued that he was
given the opportunity to enter a residential drug treatment program. The trial court
revoked probation in number BA394829 and BA399400, found that appellant abandoned

the one-year residential drug treatment program, struck the prior strike enhancements in
each case, and in each case, sentenced appellant to three years state prison and imposed
and stayed the one-year enhancements on the prison prior enhancements (§ 667.5, subd.
(b)). In each case, appellant was ordered to pay a $240 restitution fine (§ 1202.4, subd.
(b)), a $240 parole revocation fine (§ 1202.45), a $50 lab fee (Health & Saf. Code, §
11372.5, subd. (a)) a $40 court operations assessment (§ 1465.8), and a $30 conviction
assessment. (Gov. Code, § 70373.) The third case, case number BA402534, was
dismissed pursuant to section 1385.
              We appointed counsel to represent appellant in this appeal. After counsel’s
examination of the record, she filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised.
              On June 4, 2013, we advised appellant that he had 30 days within which to
personally submit any contentions or issues he wished us to consider. On June 17, 2013,
appellant filed a supplemental letter brief, stating among other things, that he was not
provided the opportunity to participate in a residential treatment program and the trial
court erred in revoking probation and sentencing appellant to state prison.
              We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that appellant's
attorney has fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist.

126.)
              The judgments in Case Nos. BA399400 and BA394829 are affirmed.
