NOT TO BE PUBLISHED
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County No. MA081183, Shannon Knight, Judge. Affirmed.
Richard B. Lennon and Larry Pizarro, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance by Plaintiff and Respondent.
BAKER, Acting P. J.
On April 2, 2021, Vearlean Wyatt returned to her home and discovered it had been burglarized: a window and sliding door normally left closed and locked were open, and at least two items were missing-a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant and a Chromebook computer laptop. The burglar left a telephone behind in the home's enclosed backyard, and that phone traced back to defendant and appellant Eric Rivadeneira (defendant), who lived nearby and was found in possession of a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant and a Chromebook.
In a single-count felony information, the prosecutor charged defendant with first degree residential burglary (Pen. Code, § 459). A jury found defendant guilty and the trial court sentenced him to the low term of two years in state prison.
Defendant appealed his conviction, and this court appointed counsel to represent him. After examining the record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues. On June 17, 2022, this court advised defendant he had 30 days to personally submit any contentions or issues he wanted us to consider. We received no response.
We have examined the appellate record and are satisfied defendant's attorney has complied with the responsibilities of counsel and no arguable issue exists. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 278-82; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 12224; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
We concur: MOOR, J., KIM, J.
