         v.

CHAD MASEO CONLEY,

                   Defendant and Appellant.

         This appeal comes to us pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436
(Wende).
         An information charged defendant Chad Maseo Conley with two counts of being a
felon in possession of a firearm (counts one & two; Pen. Code, § 29800, subd. (a)(1))1
and one count of being a felon in possession of an assault rifle (count three; § 30605,
subd. (a)).
         Defendant pled no contest to count two in return for a stipulated three-year upper
term state prison sentence, to run concurrently with time he was currently serving in Yolo

1        Undesignated statutory references are to the Penal Code.

                                                             1
County, and the dismissal of the remaining counts. The parties stipulated that on or about
September 29, 2012, in Sacramento County, defendant, who had previously been
convicted of violating Health and Safety Code section 11378, owned a Smith & Wesson
.38-caliber revolver.
       The trial court thereafter imposed the agreed-upon sentence, including three years
of postrelease community supervision. The court awarded defendant 36 days of
presentence custody credits (18 actual days and 18 conduct days). The court imposed a
$240 restitution fine (§ 1202.4, subd. (b)), a suspended parole revocation restitution fine
in the same amount (§ 1202.45), a $30 court facility fee (Gov. Code, § 70373), and a $40
court security assessment (§ 1465.8).
       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.) 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 elapsed, and we
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.
       However, we must remand the matter to the trial court with directions to strike the
suspended parole revocation restitution fine. That fine may be imposed only when a
defendant’s sentence “includes a period of parole.” (§ 1202.45.) Defendant’s present
offense is not among those for which a period of parole is mandated (§ 3000.08, subd.
(a)), and the court expressly subjected him instead to a period of postrelease community
supervision upon the completion of his prison term. (§ 3000.08, subd. (b).) Therefore, a
suspended parole revocation restitution fine may not be imposed here.

                                              2
                                      DISPOSITION
       The matter is remanded to the trial court with directions to prepare a corrected
abstract of judgment that deletes the fine under section 1202.45 and to forward a certified
copy of the corrected abstract to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. In all
other respects, the judgment is affirmed.
