CARTER GORG,

         APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County,

appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

                                 _________________________________
       Before the preliminary hearing, defendant and appellant Carter Gorg pled nolo
contendere to possession of marijuana for sale. In accord with the plea agreement, the
trial court sentenced Gorg to the two-year midterm, to be served in the county jail
concurrent with a sentence in another case. We affirm the judgment pursuant to the
procedures established in People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 346.
                                       DISCUSSION
       In the course of being booked on a drug-related arrest, police found an item
wrapped in layers of plastic bags in a cardboard box in Gorg’s possession. When the
officers peeled off the plastic bags, they found a softball-sized ball of a green, leafy
substance resembling marijuana and weighing 158 grams.1
       The People filed an amended complaint charging Gorg with bringing alcohol or
drugs other than controlled substances into a jail facility (count 1; Pen. Code, § 4573.5)
and possession of marijuana for sale (count 2; Health & Saf. Code, § 11359). Further, it
was alleged that, at the time of the commission of the offenses, Gorge was released from
custody on bail or his own recognizance in Los Angeles Superior Court (Pen. Code,
§ 12022.1), and that he had a prior conviction with a prison term (Pen. Code, § 667.5,
subd. (b)). As noted, Gorg agreed to plead to count 2. The trial court dismissed count 1
and all other allegations, and then sentenced Gorg to the two-year midterm (Health &
Saf. Code, § 11359; Pen. Code, § 1170, subd. (h)(1)), and ordered it to be served in
county jail concurrent with a sentence in another case, in accord with the plea agreement.
       Gorg filed a timely notice of appeal explicitly based only on the sentence or other
matters occurring after the plea. We appointed counsel to represent Gorg on appeal. On
June 26, 2015, appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436,
requesting we independently review the record on appeal for any arguable issues. We
notified Gorg by letter that he could submit any claim, argument or issues that he wished
our court to review. Gorg has not filed any issues or claims.

      As Gorg pled before the preliminary hearing, the facts summarized based on
information in the probation officer’s report.

                                              2
       On September 2, 2015, we issued an order relieving Gorg’s originally appointed
counsel, and naming the California Appellate Project (CAP) as Gorg’s new appointed
counsel. CAP informed our court that it will not be filing a supplemental brief for Gorg.
       We have reviewed the record on appeal, and find that both of Gorg’s appointed
counsel have fulfilled their duty, and that no arguable issues exist. (Wende, supra, 25
Cal.3d 436, People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106.)
                                     DISPOSITION
       The judgment is affirmed.
