COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION ONE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THE PEOPLE, D068182
Plaintiff and Respondent,
v. (Super. Ct. No. SCD106382)
TYRONE ROGERS,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of San Diego County, David J.
Danielsen, Judge. Affirmed.
Laura R. Sheppard for Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance for Respondent.
In 1994, Tyrone Rogers was convicted by a jury of two counts of first degree
residential burglary (Pen. Code,1 § 459). He was ultimately sentenced to a term of four
years in prison.
1 All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise specified.
In 2015, while serving a prison sentence for a different offense, Rogers filed a
petition for writ of habeas corpus in this case, seeking among other relief, the recall of his
burglary sentences pursuant to Proposition 47 (§ 1170.18). The trial court deemed the
petition for writ of habeas corpus to be a petition to recall the sentences under section
1170.18. The court entered a written order denying the petition to recall the sentences.
Rogers filed a timely notice of appeal.
Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25
Cal.3d 436 (Wende), indicating she has been unable to identify any reasonable arguable
issues for reversal on appeal. Counsel asks this court to review the record for error as
mandated by Wende. We offered Rogers the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal.2
Rogers has filed a supplemental brief, in which he seeks habeas relief from his
1994 convictions. His brief does not address any issue regarding the denial of his
Proposition 47 petition. We will discuss Rogers's brief further below.
DISCUSSION
As we have noted, counsel has asked this court to review the record for error as
mandated by Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436. To assist the court in its review of the record,
counsel has indicated the following possible, but not arguable issues, consistent with the
requirements of Anders v. California (1967 386 U.S. 738 (Anders):
1. Whether the trial court erred in treating Rogers's petition for writ of habeas
corpus as a petition to recall the sentences under section 1170.18?
2 The facts underlying the 1994 conviction are not relevant to any possible issue on
this appeal. Accordingly we will not set forth a statement of facts.
2
2. Whether the trial court abused its discretion in denying relief under section
1170.18?
3. Whether Rogers's convictions for first degree residential burglary are subject to
resentencing under Proposition 47?
In his supplemental brief, Rogers claims various errors occurred in his 1994 trial.
The brief appears to be a petition for writ of habeas corpus relief. Rogers has not filed
this petition for writ of habeas corpus in the trial court, nor has he filed an original
proceeding in this court. His remedy, if any, regarding his 1994 conviction lies in a
petition for writ of habeas corpus filed in the San Diego Superior Court.
We have reviewed the entire record pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436 and
Anders, supra, 386 U.S. 738. Our review has not disclosed any reasonably arguable
issues for reversal on appeal. Competent counsel has represented Rogers on this appeal.
DISPOSITION
The order denying the petition to recall the sentences under section 1170.18 is
affirmed.
