_________________________________
In 2013 Miguel Lopez pleaded guilty to violating Penal Code sections 484e,
subdivision (d) [theft of access cards], and 530.5, subdivision (a) [identity theft]. In
accordance with a plea agreement, three more counts charging theft of access cards were
dismissed and Lopez was sentenced to three years in county jail. In January of 2015, he
filed a petition to recall his sentence pursuant to Penal Code section 1170.18, enacted as
part of Proposition 47. The trial court denied that petition, noting that defendant’s
commitment offenses rendered him ineligible for relief under Proposition 47.
Defendant appealed and we appointed counsel to represent him on appeal. After
examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues and asking this
court to independently review the record. On August 6, 2015, we advised defendant he
had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues he wished us to
consider. To date, we have received no response.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that defendant’s attorney has
fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v.
Kelly (2006) 40 Cal. 4th 106, 109–110; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal. 3d 436, 441.)
Eligibility for resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.18 is limited to convictions for
the offenses specified therein, in subdivision (a). Neither of defendant’s commitment
offenses are within the scope of that section.
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
