IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION TWO
THE PEOPLE,
Plaintiff and Respondent, E065508
v. (Super.Ct.No. RIF149420)
AMBER LYNN TROMBLY, OPINION
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from the Superior Court of Riverside County. Becky Dugan, Judge.
Affirmed.
Jeffrey S. Kross, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and
Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
1
Defendant and appellant Amber Lynn Trombly was charged by felony complaint
with six counts of receiving stolen property (Pen. Code,1 § 496, subd. (a), counts 1-6),
forgery (§ 470, subd. (d), count 7), and misdemeanor identity theft (§ 530.5, subd. (c)(1),
count 8). The complaint also alleged that defendant committed certain counts while she
was released from custody on another offense. (§ 12022.1.) Pursuant to a plea
agreement, defendant pled guilty to counts 1 and 8 and admitted the section 12022.1
enhancement. In exchange, the trial court dismissed the remaining counts and allegations
with a Harvey2 waiver, and it sentenced her to four years in state prison. Defendant
subsequently filed a petition for resentencing pursuant to section 1170.18, which the
court denied. Defendant filed a notice of appeal and a request for certificate of probable
cause, which the court also denied. She then filed an amended notice of appeal,
challenging the denial of the petition for resentencing. We affirm.
PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
On June 10, 2009, defendant entered a plea agreement and pled guilty to receiving
stolen property (checks of Encore Orthopedics of Southern California) (§ 496, subd. (a),
count 1) and misdemeanor identity theft. (§ 530.5, subd. (c)(1).) She also admitted that
she committed count 1 while she was released from custody on another offense.
1 All further statutory references will be to the Penal Code, unless otherwise
noted.
2 People v. Harvey (1979) 25 Cal.3d 754.
2
(§ 12022.1.) The court sentenced her to four years in state prison, in accordance with the
plea agreement.
On August 12, 2015, defendant filed a petition for resentencing, pursuant to
Proposition 47 (effective November 5, 2014). (§ 1170.18.) The petition stated that she
believed the value of the checks did not exceed $950. “Proposition 47 makes certain
drug- and theft-related offenses misdemeanors, unless the offenses were committed by
certain ineligible defendants. These offenses had previously been designated as either
felonies or wobblers (crimes that can be punished as either felonies or misdemeanors).”
(People v. Rivera (2015) 233 Cal.App.4th 1085, 1091.) “Proposition 47 also created a
new resentencing provision: section 1170.18. Under section 1170.18, a person ‘currently
serving’ a felony sentence for an offense that is now a misdemeanor under Proposition
47, may petition for a recall of that sentence and request resentencing in accordance with
the statutes that were added or amended by Proposition 47.” (Id. at p. 1092.)
On January 21, 2016, the court found that defendant was statutorily ineligible for
relief because one stolen check alone was for $1,761. The court denied the petition.
DISCUSSION
Defendant appealed 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 and no potential arguable issues. Counsel has also requested this court to
undertake a review of the entire record.
3
We offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, which
he has not done.
Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have
conducted an independent review of the record and find no arguable issues.
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
