*1572 Opinion
McKINSTER, Acting P. J.
Defendant Jorge Delgadillo appeals from the judgment entered following jury convictions for manufacturing methamphetamine (count 1), possessing analogs with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine (count 2), and possessing methamphetamine for sale (count 3). (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 11379.6, subd. (a), 11383, subd. (c)(1), 11378.) The jury further found true the allegation in connection with count 1 that defendant was personally armed with a firearm.

In the unpublished portion, we address defendant’s remaining claims of error, all of which we conclude are meritless. In a related habeas corpus petition, which we also address in the unpublished…
