    COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
    DIVISION ONE
    STATE OF CALIFORNIA
    THE PEOPLE,                                                         D064125
    Plaintiff and Respondent,
    v.                                                         (Super. Ct. No. SCS259877)
    JONATHAN MARTINEZ,
    Defendant and Appellant.
    APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Edward P.
    Allard, III, Judge. Affirmed.
    Law Office of Alissa L. Bjerkhoel and Alissa L. Bjerkhoel for Defendant and
    Appellant.
    No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
    A jury convicted Jonathan Martinez of possession of a controlled substance
    (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)). The court found true one serious/violent felony
    prior conviction (Pen. Code, § 667, subd. (b)-(i)).
    The defense motion to strike the serious/violent felony prior conviction was
    denied and Martinez was sentenced to a term of 32 months in prison.
    Martinez filed a timely notice of appeal.
    Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 
    25 Cal.3d 436
    (Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 
    386 U.S. 738
     (Anders) raising possible but not
    arguable issues. We offered Martinez the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal, but
    he has not responded.
    STATEMENT OF FACTS
    On October 1, 2012, Martinez was staying at an apartment in Imperial Beach
    which was rented by George Laguna. Officers of the U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force
    had gone to the apartment to arrest two other men. They were admitted to the apartment
    by Laguna.
    Martinez, who was on parole at the time, was searched. The search revealed a
    small amount of methamphetamine.
    DISCUSSION
    As we have previously noted, appellate counsel has filed a brief indicating she is
    unable to identify any argument for reversal and asks this court to review the record for
    error as mandated by Wende, supra, 
    25 Cal.3d 436
    . Pursuant to Anders, 
    supra,
     
    386 U.S. 738
    , the brief identifies the possible, but not arguable issues:
    1. Whether the trial court abused its discretion in denying the motion to strike the
    serious/violent felony prior conviction?
    2. Whether imposition of a $280 restitution file violated the ex post facto clause?
    2
    3. Whether the trial court erred in denying the motion to suppress evidence on
    Fourth Amendment grounds?
    4. Whether the court abused its discretion in allowing amendment of the
    information on the day of trial?
    We have reviewed the entire record in accordance with Wende, supra, 
    25 Cal.3d 436
     and Anders, 
    supra,
     
    386 U.S. 738
     and have not found any reasonably arguable
    appellate issues. Competent counsel has represented Martinez on appeal.
    DISPOSITION
    The judgment is affirmed.
