What are the consequences of a no contest plea in a charge of possession of methamphetamine for sale and resisting arrest?

On December 14, 2006, defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing. The following day defendant pleaded no contest to one charge of felony possession of methamphetamine for sale, and to misdemeanor resisting arrest, and admitted having suffered three prior convictions for which he had served prison sentences. Defendant's attorney explained that all other charges, arising from both arrests, were to be dismissed with Harvey waivers (People v. Harvey (1979) 25 Cal.3d 754). Defendant signed and initialed a waiver form indicating he understood and was waiving the constitutional rights he was giving up by entering the plea, that he was not being pressured in any way to enter the plea, that he understood he could receive a term of six years in prison followed by parole for five to seven years, and that he understood the other consequences of entering the plea. The form also recited the custody term would be "6 years w/credits from both cases (all) going to this case," and that defendant had stipulated to "forfeiture of money seized in both cases, & destruction of evidence seized."
