IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT

(Sacramento)

----

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

LARRY WIMBERLY,

Defendant and Appellant.

C080069

(Super. Ct. No. 02F09968)

Appointed counsel for defendant Larry Wimberly has filed an opening brief that 

sets forth the facts of the case and asks this court to review the record and determine 

whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 

(Wende).) Having reviewed the record as required by Wende, we affirm the judgment.

BACKGROUND

We provide the following brief description of the facts and procedural history of 

the case. (See People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110, 124.)
2

In 1997 defendant kidnapped and raped Traci N. In 2003 a jury convicted 

defendant of two counts of rape (Pen. Code, § 261, subd. (a)(2))1 and one count of 

kidnapping to commit rape (§ 209, subd. (b)(1)). The trial court sentenced him to an 

aggregate, indeterminate term in state prison of 150 years to life. We affirmed the 

judgment in 2007. (People v. Wimberly (Jan. 17, 2007, C045556) [nonpub. opn.].)

In August 2012 the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation sent a letter to 

the trial court indicating there might be an error in the abstract of judgment, as it 

indicated defendant had been sentenced to a term of 150 years to life without the 

possibility of parole, but defendant’s sentence should have been 150 years to life. The 

trial court corrected the abstract of judgment to reflect a corrected sentence of 150 years 

to life. The court further corrected the abstract to reflect that at the time of the offense in 

1997, kidnapping with intent to commit rape was set forth in former section 208, 

subdivision (d), not section 209, subdivision (b). The court noted that it was authorized 

to correct an unauthorized sentence at any time, pursuant to People v. Welch (1993) 

5 Cal.4th 228, and corrected the abstract to reflect a conviction on count one of 

section 208, subdivision (d).

On July 23, 2015, defendant filed an “Informal Request for the Court to Recall 

Sentence and Conviction On Its Own Motion” (§ 1170, subd. (d)), alleging he had been 

convicted on count one of noncriminal conduct. The trial court denied the motion.

DISCUSSION

Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case and asks us to 

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. We have undertaken an examination of the 

entire record and find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable 

to defendant.

The judgment (order) is affirmed.
