Defendant pled guilty to second degree commercial burglary after the effective 

date of Proposition 47. He appeals from the trial court’s order denying his petition for 

resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.18.1 We affirm.

FACTS AND PROCEDURE 

On March 10, 2015, defendant stole a laptop computer from a Costco store. On 

April 2, 2015, the People filed a felony complaint charging defendant with second degree

commercial burglary (§ 459) and grand theft (§ 487, subd. (a)). The People alleged 

defendant had two prior strike convictions (§§ 667, subds. (c) & (e)(2)(A), 1170.12, subd. 

(c)(2)(A)) a prior prison term conviction (§ 667.5, subd. (b)).

On April 13, 2015, defendant pled guilty to the burglary charge and admitted one 

of the strike convictions.

On May 12, 2015, the trial court sentenced defendant per the plea bargain to 32 

months in state prison.

On June 12, 2015, defendant filed a handwritten petition for resentencing, in 

which he stated “I believe I am eligible for Prop 47. I was not made aware of Prop 47 

during court and would like to apply for resentencing. I am in prison for 2nd degree 

burglary. Non-violent Non-serious – Prop 47.”

On November 20, 2015, the People responded that defendant was not entitled to 

relief because “Plea was after Prop 47 and [defendant] failed to meet burden of proving 

 

1 Section references are to the Penal Code except where otherwise indicated.

value under $950. Ct 2 alleged value over $950. Police report indicates [defendant] 

entered into a conspiracy to steal laptops at Costco = $1,299.98.”

On December 16, 2015, the court denied the petition.

This appeal followed.

DISCUSSION 

Upon defendant’s request, this court appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel 

has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders 

v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, setting forth a statement of the case, a summary of the 

facts, and potential arguable issues, and requesting this court to undertake a review of the 

entire record.

We offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, and he 

has not done so. We have now concluded our independent review of the entire record 

and find no arguable issues. (People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 124.)

DISPOSITION 

The superior court’s order denying in part defendant’s petition for resentencing is 

affirmed.
