admitted to committing the crime for the benefit and in association with a criminal street

gang (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(B)) and having previously suffered a serious felony (§ 667,

subd. (a)(1)). In return, the remaining charges and enhancement allegations were

dismissed and defendant was sentenced to a stipulated term of 12 years in state prison

with credit for time served. Defendant appeals from the judgment, challenging the

sentence or other matters occurring after the plea as well as other basis. We find no error

and affirm the judgment.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND2

On September 26, 2012, defendant entered a sandwich restaurant and ordered a

sandwich. He then displayed a small handgun, pointed it over the counter in the direction

of the employee who was making the sandwich, and stated, “‘Do me a favor, open the

then called the police from the business next door. The employee identified defendant as

the suspect from a photographic lineup.

Defendant was apprehended, and on November 13, 2012, a two-count felony

complaint was filed against defendant. The complaint alleged that defendant committed

an attempted second degree robbery (§§ 664/211; count 1) and street terrorism (§ 186.22,

subd. (a); count 2). The complaint further alleged that as to count 1, defendant personally

used a firearm within the meaning of section 12022.53, subdivision (b). The complaint

2 The factual background is taken from the San Bernardino police report.

also alleged that defendant had suffered a prior serious felony (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)) and a

prior strike conviction (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subd. (a)-(d)).

On September 19, 2013, the trial court granted the People’s motion to amend the

complaint by interlineations to add a gang enhancement pursuant to section 186.22,

subdivision (b)(1)(B), as to count 1. Thereafter, on that same day, defendant entered into

a negotiated plea. Defendant pled no contest to attempted robbery (§ 664/211); and

admitted the gang enhancement (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(B)) attached to count 1. He also

admitted to having previously suffered a serious felony (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)). In return,

the remaining charges and enhancement allegations would be dismissed and defendant

would be sentenced to a stipulated term of 12 years in state prison with credit of 672

(336 actual days plus 336 conduct credits) days for time served. After examining

defendant, the trial court found that defendant knowingly, intelligently, freely, and

voluntarily waived his rights; that defendant read and understood the plea form, the

nature of the charges, and the consequences of the plea; that the plea was entered into

freely, voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently; and that there was a factual basis for his

plea. Defendant was thereafter immediately sentenced in accordance with his plea

agreement and awarded a total of 672 days credit for time served. The court’s minute

order and the abstract of judgment note conduct credits pursuant to section 4019.

On November 6, 2013, defendant filed a notice of appeal, challenging the sentence

or other matters occurring after the plea as well as other basis. He also concurrently filed

a request for certificate of probable cause explaining that he had “signed a deal for 12

3
years with half time under the ‘new 4019,’” but because he had been validated as a gang

member pursuant to section 2933.6,3 the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation

found him ineligible to receive good time credits and “must serve 100 percent of [his]

term.” Defendant therefore requested “remodification” of his sentence down to six years.

The defendant had also attached to his request a Declaration in Support of Request to

Recall Sentence pursuant to section 1170, subdivision (d), based on the same grounds.

Defendant’s request for a certificate of probable cause was denied by the court on

November 7, 2013.4

DISCUSSION

After defendant appealed, 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

3 Effective January 25, 2010, section 2933.6, subdivision (a), regarding sentence
reduction conduct credits, was amended to read: “Notwithstanding any other law, a
person who is placed in a Security Housing Unit . . . upon validation as a prison gang
member or associate is ineligible to earn [sentence reduction conduct] credits pursuant to
Section 2933 or 2933.05 during the time he or she is in the Security Housing Unit, . . .”
(§ 2933.6, subd. (a), as amended by Stats. 2009, 3d Ex. Sess. 2009-2010, ch. 28, § 44,
italics added; see In re Sampson (2011) 197 Cal.App.4th 1234, 1240 [prospective
application of amendment does not violate prohibition against ex post facto laws]; In re
Efstathiou (2011) 200 Cal.App.4th 725, 731-734 [prospective application of amendment
does not violate procedural due process].)

4 The court did not expressly deny his petition to recall his sentence, but
implicitly denied the petition since it was submitted together with his request for a
certificate of probable cause based on the same grounds.

4
the case, a summary of the facts and potential arguable issues, and requesting this court

conduct an independent review of the record. We offered defendant an opportunity to

file a personal supplemental brief, and he has not done so.

Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have

independently reviewed the entire record for potential error and find no arguable error

that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.
