California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(a), prohibits courts and parties from citing or relying on opinions not certified for publication or ordered published, except as specified by rule 8.1115(b). This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115. (Los Angeles County Super. Ct.

Scott, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
____________________
The jury found defendant and appellant Angel Ray Alcala guilty of residential robbery (Pen. Code, § 211 [count 1]) and first degree burglary (§ 459 [count 2]). It also found true the allegations that there was a person present during the commission of the offenses (§ 667.5, subd. (c)), and the victim was 65 years old or older (§ 667.9, subd. (a)) in counts 1 and 2. The jury was unable to reach a verdict with respect to a second count of burglary (§ 211 [count 3]) and the allegations that Alcala had personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim in counts 1 and 2 (§ 12022.7, subd. (c)). Alcala subsequently pleaded guilty in count 3, and the great bodily injury enhancements in counts 1 and 2 were dismissed.
All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise indicated. --------
The trial court sentenced Alcala to a term of four years in count 1, plus one year for the section 667.9, subdivision (a) enhancement. The court imposed and stayed a five-year sentence in count 2, pursuant to section 654. Alcala received a concurrent sentence of four years in count 3.
Alcala filed a notice of appeal following jury trial. We appointed counsel on appeal. On October 30, 2018, counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, raising no issues but asking this court to independently review the record for error.
We advised Alcala on October 30, 2018, of his right to file a brief or letter containing any issues he wishes this court to consider. No response has been received to date.
We have examined the entire record and find no arguable issues on appeal. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 278-284; People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
