THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. BRANDON LASHAUN TAYLOR, Defendant and Appellant.
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED
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 This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115.
(Super. Ct. No. 13F01381)
Appointed counsel for defendant Brandon Lashaun Taylor has asked this court to review the record to determine whether there exist any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) We shall affirm the judgment.
BACKGROUND
Following jury deadlock and declaration of a mistrial, defendant pleaded no contest to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon (Pen. Code, § 29800, subd. (a)(1)), admitted a prior serious felony strike conviction (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12), and waived all accrued presentence credits. In exchange, two related counts were dismissed.
Undesignated statutory references are to the Penal Code.
The parties stipulated that on January 18, 2013, in Sacramento County, defendant possessed a firearm. He previously had been convicted of a felony violation of section 273.5 in Solano County in August 2011. The strike allegation was based on defendant's January 2007 Contra Costa County conviction for violating section 459.
The trial court sentenced defendant to state prison for the stipulated term of four years, awarded him 20 days of custody credit and 20 days of conduct credit for the period following the plea, and ordered him to pay a $280 restitution fine (§ 1202.4, subd. (b)(1)), a $280 suspended restitution fine (§ 1202.45), a $40 court operations fee (§ 1465.8, subd. (a)(1)), and a $30 court facilities assessment (Gov. Code, § 70373). Defendant appealed, but did not request or obtain a certificate of probable cause. (§ 1237.5.)
DISCUSSION
Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case and requests that we review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.) Counsel advised defendant of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days have elapsed, and we have received no communication from defendant. Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
