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).

(Los Angeles County)
In 2006, Rafael Martirosyan was convicted by jury of attempted murder and discharging a weapon from a vehicle. (Pen. Code, §§ 664, 187, 189, 12034, subd. (c).) The jury also found the gun enhancements to be true. (Pen. Code, § 12022.53.) On October 26, 2006, appellant was sentenced to a total of 32 years to life in state prison, consisting of the upper term of seven years for the weapon discharge conviction and a consecutive 25 years for the section 12022.53, subdivision (d) enhancement. Appellant appealed his conviction and sentence. The appeal was final on January 7, 2008. (See People v. Martirosyan (Nov. 6, 2007, B195129) [nonpub. opn.].)
All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise stated. --------
On March 19, 2019, Martirosyan, in pro per, filed a petition for resentencing under Senate Bill No. 620 (2017-2018 Reg. Sess.) (Senate Bill No. 620), requesting that the trial court exercise its discretion to strike or dismiss the § 12022.53, subdivision (d) gun enhancement. The trial court denied Martirosyan's petition on March 20, 2019, finding that Senate Bill No. 620 does not affect final judgments.
Martirosyan filed a timely notice of appeal.
We appointed counsel to represent Martirosyan in this appeal. After examining the record, she filed a brief raising no issues.
On August 20, 2019, we advised Martirosyan by mail that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that he wished to raise on appeal. We received no reply.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Martirosyan's attorney has fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
