FACTS AND PROCEDURE
On December 3, 2009, defendant was a passenger in a car that pulled up alongside
a student walking home from high school. Defendant told the student to hand over his
cellular telephone. The student initially refused, but gave up the phone when defendant
lifted up his shirt to reveal the handle of a black handgun in his waistband and said he
would shoot or kill the student.
On April 16, 2010, defendant pled guilty to second degree robbery (Pen. Code, §
211)1 and admitted a prior robbery conviction from 2008 that qualified as both a strike
prior (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i) and 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)) and a serious felony prior (§ 667,
subd. (a)(1)).
On August 6, 2010, the trial court heard and denied defendant’s motion to
withdraw his plea and sentenced him as agreed to the low term of two years, doubled for
the strike prior, plus five years consecutive for the serious felony prior, for a total of nine
years.
Defendant appealed, and this court affirmed the judgment in case number
E055214.
On February 10, 2015, defendant filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus
asking for “re-sentenced under Prop 47.”
1 All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise indicated.

On March 6, 2015, the trial court, Department S21, denied the petition on the
ground that defendant “does not satisfy the criteria in Penal Code 1170.18 and is not
eligible for resentencing.”
On March 24, 2015 the trial court, Department S20, deemed the writ to be a
petition for resentencing under section 1170.18 and sent it to Department S21 for further
proceedings.
On April 1, 2015, defendant filed a notice of appeal, dated March 26, from the
March 6 denial of his petition.
On April 3, 2015, the trial court, Department S21, denied the petition, finding
defendant ineligible under section 1170.18.
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
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.

DISPOSITION
The order denying defendant’s petition for resentencing under section 1170.18 is
affirmed.
