THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

RONALD WAYNE MCGUIRE,

Defendant and Appellant.

C072984

(Super. Ct. Nos. 

CM036931, CM037352)

Appointed counsel for defendant Ronald Wayne McGuire 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.1 (People v. Wende (1979) 

25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) 

 

1 Defendant was advised by counsel 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. 
2

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.) 

In case No. CM036931, a complaint was filed on July 2, 2012, charging defendant 

with two counts of second degree commercial burglary (counts 1 & 3; Pen. Code, 

§ 459),2 second degree robbery (count 2; § 211), and misdemeanor resisting or delaying a 

peace officer (count 4; § 148, subd. (a)(1)). It was also alleged as to counts 1, 2 and 3 

that defendant had one prior strike (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)). 

On August 1, 2012, defendant pleaded no contest to counts 1 and 3, in return for 

the dismissal of the remaining counts and allegation. 

At a hearing on August 29, 2012, the trial court authorized defendant’s transport 

from jail to a residential substance abuse treatment program and set a status review 

hearing for September 5, 2012. 

In case No. CM037352, a complaint filed October 1, 2012, charged defendant with 

second degree robbery (count 1; § 211) and petty theft with three priors (count 2; 

§§ 484/666, subd. (a)). It was also alleged that defendant was released on bail or his own 

recognizance when he committed the offenses (§ 12022.1) and that he had a prior strike 

(§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)). 

On October 17, 2012, in case No. CM037352, defendant pleaded no contest to a 

newly alleged count 3, grand theft from a person (§ 487, subd. (c)), in return for the 

dismissal of the remaining charges and “open case” (CM037290) and a stipulated state 

prison sentence of four years four months, which would include case No. CM036931, an 

outstanding misdemeanor case, and a probation violation. 

 

2 Undesignated statutory references are to the Penal Code.

According to the probation report in case No. CM036931, to which the parties 

stipulated as the factual basis for the plea therein, on June 8 and July 21, 2012, defendant 

stole bottles of alcohol from a Raley’s supermarket. In case No. CM037352, according 

to the prosecutor’s undisputed recital, on September 28, 2012, defendant entered a Rite 

Aid, hid $70.96 worth of merchandise in his clothes, and walked out without paying; 

when confronted outside the store by a loss prevention officer, defendant resisted until 

the police arrived. 

On November 7, 2012, the trial court imposed the stipulated sentence of four years 

four months, calculated as follows: the upper term of three years on count 1 in case 

No. CM036931 (the principal term), eight months consecutive on count 3 in case 

No. CM036931, and eight months consecutive on count 3 in case No. CM037352, with 

concurrent sentences imposed on the misdemeanor and probation violation cases. The 

court awarded 186 total days of presentence custody credit (105 total days, including 53 

actual days and 52 conduct days, in case No. CM036931, and 81 total days, including 41 

actual days and 40 conduct days, in case No. CM037352). The court imposed a $240 

restitution fine (Pen. Code, § 1202.4, subd. (b)) and a $240 suspended parole revocation 

restitution fine (id., § 1202.45) as to each case. In case No. CM036931, the court further 

imposed a $10 theft fine (id., § 1202.5), a $2 court surcharge (id., § 1465.7, subd. (a)), a 

$5 court facilities construction fund fee (Gov. Code, § 70372), a $10 state penalty 

assessment (Pen. Code, § 1464), a $7 county penalty assessment (Gov. Code, § 76000), a 

$1 DNA identification fund fee (Gov. Code, § 76104.6), and a $4 DNA identification 

fund fee (Gov. Code, § 76104.7), multiplied by two, for a total of $78. In case 

No. CM037352, the court imposed the same fines, fees, and assessments, for a total of 

$39. Finally, the court ordered victim restitution to Raley’s and Rite Aid in amounts to 

be determined.

Defendant appeals. We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. 

Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case and requests this court 

to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. 

(Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.) Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, 

we find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.

The judgment is affirmed.
