BACKGROUND2
On April 16, 1996, defendant Jimmie Lee Ingram was convicted of one count of
robbery (Pen.Code, § 211). In addition, two prior strike allegations were found true (§
667, subds. (b)-(i).) As a result, on May 14, 1996, defendant was sentenced under the
three strikes law to an indeterminate term of 25 years to life.
On November 6, 2012, the electorate passed Proposition 36. This ballot measure
enacted section 1170.126, which permits persons currently serving an indeterminate life
term under the three strikes law to file a petition in the sentencing court, seeking to be
resentenced to a determinate term as a second-striker. (§ 1170.126, subd. (f).) If the trial
court determines that the defendant meets the criteria of section 1170.126, subdivision
(e), the court may resentence the defendant. (§ 1170.126, subd. (f).) Section 1170.126,
subdivision (e)(1) provides, as pertinent here, that a defendant is eligible for resentencing
if he or she is “serving an indeterminate term of life imprisonment imposed pursuant to
paragraph (2) of subdivision (e) of Section 667 or subdivision (c) of Section 1170.12 for
a conviction of a felony or felonies that are not defined as serious and/or violent felonies
by subdivision (c) of Section 667.5 or subdivision (c) of Section 1192.7.”
1 All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise
indicated.
2 The underlying facts are not material to the issue considered on appeal.
2
On November 21, 2012, defendant filed a propria persona petition for resentencing
under section 1170.126. The court denied the petition on January 25, 2013, finding that
defendant’s current commitment offense for robbery is a serious felony under section
1192.7, which made him ineligible for resentencing under section 1170.126.
II
DISCUSSION
Defendant timely appealed from the trial court’s denial of resentencing and, upon
his request, this court appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel has filed a brief under
the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967)
386 U.S. 738, setting forth a statement of the case, a summary of the facts and potential
arguable issues, and requesting this court conduct an independent review of the record.
The only arguable issue presented by defendant’s counsel was whether the trial court
erred by denying defendant’s petition for resentencing pursuant to section 1170.126.
Robbery is a serious felony. (§ 1192.7, subd. (c)(19).) Accordingly, defendant is
not eligible for resentencing pursuant to section 1170.126, subdivision (f).
We offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, but he
has not done so. Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we
have independently reviewed the record for potential error and find no arguable issues.
