IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION SIX
THE PEOPLE, 2d Crim. No. B242997
(Super. Ct. No. 2011035278)
Plaintiff and Respondent, (Ventura County)
v.
MEHRAN AMIRKHANI KHAMSEH,
Defendant and Appellant.
Mehran Amirkhani Khamseh appeals his conviction by plea to felony driving
under the influence causing injury (Veh. Code, § 23153. subd. (a)) and leaving the scene of
an accident (Veh. Code, § 20001, subd. (a)). Appellant admitted causing great bodily injury
to two minor children (Pen. Code, § 12022.7 subd. (d))1, that he caused injury to the minors'
mother, that he had a prior strike conviction (§§§ 667, subds. (c)(1) & (e)(1); 1170.12,
subds. (a)(1) & (c)(1)) and that he had suffered a prior prison conviction (§ 667.5, subd.
(b)).
The plea was based on the probation report which indicates that appellant
struck a mother and two young children in a crosswalk while driving a tow truck under the
influence of methamphetamine. The mother was knocked to the ground and injured. The
two children were trapped face down under the truck bumper and dragged a quarter mile.

On June 22, 2012, the trial court sentenced appellant to 11 years four months
state prison and awarded 479 days actual credit and 239 days conduct credit (§§ 2900.5;
4019.) Appellant was ordered to pay a $480 restitution fine (§ 1202.4, subd. (b)), a $480
parole revocation fine (§ 1202.45), victim restitution (§ 1202.4, subd. (f)), a $70 court
security fee (§ 1465.8,) and an $80 criminal conviction assessment (Gov. Code, § 70373).
Appellant's appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979)
25 Cal.3d 436, setting forth the facts of the case and requesting that we review the entire
record on appeal, but raising no specific issue. On February 13, 2013, we notified appellant
of his right to file a supplemental brief or letter within 30 days raising any grounds of
appeal, contentions or arguments he wished us to consider.
On March 19, 2013, appellant submitted a letter brief stating that he is entitled
to enhanced conduct credits even though he committed the offenses on August 31, 2010,
well before the 2011 amendment of section 4019 (AB 109) providing that certain defendants
may earn one-for-one credits for crimes committed after October 1, 2011. (See People v.
Brown (2012) 54 Cal.4th 314, 318 & fn. 3; People v. Ellis (2012) 207 Cal.App.4th 1546,
1550-1551.)
Having examined the entire record, we are satisfied that appointed counsel has
fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Kelly
(2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 123-124; People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
