Opinion

ELKINGTON, Acting P. J.

A jury found defendant Arthur Flores Mendoza guilty of possession of phencyclidine (PCP), a felony, of being under the influence of that substance, a misdemeanor, and that he had four times previously been convicted of felonies. His appeal is from the judgment which was thereupon entered.

Finding no merit in the appeal, we affirm the judgment. Our reasons follow.

We state the several appellate contentions as they are phrased by Mendoza.

I. Contention: “Insufficiency of the evidence concerning guilt.”

We once again become concerned with the substantial evidence rule.
