IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT
(Butte)
----
THE PEOPLE, C078134
Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. CM041572)
v.
ALLEN LEE CHILDERS,
Defendant and Appellant.
This case comes to us pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).
Having reviewed the record as required by Wende, we order a correction to the abstract of
judgment and affirm.
We provide the following brief description of the facts and procedural history of
the case. (See People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110, 124.)
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
On July 21, 2014, one victim reported his debit card was stolen from his truck.
Unauthorized charges were made on the card. Another victim reported that his residence
was burglarized on August 2, 2014, and his debit card was stolen. Unauthorized charges
were made on that card, as well. The cards were subsequently used to make purchases at
1
two stores -- both of which had video surveillance of the transactions. Defendant was
identified as the individual making the transactions.
Defendant pleaded no contest to receiving stolen property (Pen. Code, § 496,
subd. (a))1 and petty theft with a prior (§ 666, subd. (b)), and admitted having served a
prior prison term (§ 667.5).
On December 10, 2014, the trial court sentenced defendant to the upper term of
three years for receiving stolen property, a consecutive eight months (one-third the
midterm) for petty theft with a prior, and a consecutive one year for the prior prison term
enhancement, for an aggregate term of four years eight months. The trial court also
imposed various fines and fees, as well as victim restitution, and awarded defendant 45
days of presentence custody credit.
We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. Counsel filed an opening
brief setting forth the facts of the case and, pursuant to Wende, requesting the court to
review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal.
Defendant was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days
of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days have elapsed, and we
received no communication from defendant.
WENDE REVIEW
Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no arguable error
that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.
We did, however, find a clerical error that requires correction. At sentencing, the
trial court awarded defendant with 23 actual days and 22 conduct days, for a total of 45
days of presentence custody credit. Although the abstract of judgment correctly reflects
the total of 45 days, it erroneously reflects 22, rather than 23, actual days of custody

credit. Accordingly, the trial court must prepare a corrected abstract of judgment
reflecting 23 actual days of custody credit. (People v. Mitchell (2001) 26 Cal.4th 181,
185.)
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed. The trial court is directed to prepare a corrected
abstract and forward a certified copy thereof to the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation.
