Super. Ct. No. NA094552)
BOREN, P. J., CHAVEZ, J., FERNS, J.†
Defendant and appellant Bobby Lee Collins (defendant) appeals his judgment of conviction of first degree burglary. His appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), raising no issues. On October 28, 2013, we notified defendant of his counsel's brief and gave him leave to file, within 30 days, his own brief or letter stating any grounds or argument he might wish to have considered. That time has elapsed, and defendant has submitted no brief or letter. We have reviewed the entire record, and finding no arguable issues affirm the judgment.
In an amended information, defendant was charged with the first degree burglary of an inhabited, occupied dwelling, in violation of Penal Code section 459. The information also alleged that defendant had been convicted in 1979 of a prior serious or violent felony within the meaning of the "Three Strikes" Law, sections 667, subdivisions (b) through (i), and 1170.12, subdivisions (a) through (d), and for purposes of section 667, subdivision (a)(1); and that defendant had served prior prison terms within the meaning of section 667.5, subdivision (b).
All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless indicated otherwise.
--------
At trial, the prosecution presented evidence showing that on January 18, 2013, defendant used a ladder to access the bathroom window of an occupied residence, removed a screen from its frame and opened the window. A neighbor saw defendant in the yard of the residence, confronted him, and later identified him.
A jury convicted defendant of first degree burglary as charged and found true the allegation that the dwelling was occupied during the crime. After defendant waived his right to a jury trial on the prior conviction and prison term allegations, the trial court reviewed the evidence, including defendant's prison records, and found the allegations to be true.
On May 29, 2013, the trial court sentenced defendant to 17 years in prison, consisting of the middle term of four years, doubled to eight years as a second strike, enhanced by five years due to the prior serious felony, and four years due to the prior prison terms. The court awarded defendant a total of 151 days of presentence custody credit, which included 132 actual days plus 19 days of conduct credit, and ordered defendant to pay mandatory fines and fees. Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal from the judgment.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that defendant's attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. We conclude that defendant has, by virtue of counsel's compliance with the Wende procedure and our review of the record, received adequate and effective appellate review of the judgment entered against him in this case.
