____________________
The trial court denied his motion for modification of sentence under Proposition 47 (hereafter Prop. 47). We affirm the order in accord with the procedures established in People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 346.
DISCUSSION
Thadron Beal, acting as a self-represented litigant, filed a petition to have his sentence reduced under Prop. 47. Beal was convicted in July 1996 of second degree robbery in violation of Penal Code section 211, and sentenced to a third strike term of 25 years to life. Beal's petition asked the trial court to reduce his life sentence. The trial court denied Beal's petition, finding that robbery does not fall within the purview of those crimes for which a reduction of sentence is afforded by Prop. 47.
Beal filed a timely appeal, and our court appointed counsel to represent him on appeal. On October 19, 2015, appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436, requesting we independently review the record on appeal for any arguable issues. The same day, we notified Beal by letter that he could submit any claim, argument or issues that he wished our court to review. Beal did not respond to our letter.
We have reviewed the record on appeal, and find that Beal's appointed counsel has fulfilled her duty, and that no arguable issue exists. (Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436, People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106.)
DISPOSITION
The order denying Beal's Prop. 47 petition is affirmed.
