                    COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

                                                  DIVISION ONE

                                           STATE OF CALIFORNIA

THE PEOPLE,                                                         D067958

         Plaintiff and Respondent,

         v.                                                         (Super. Ct. No. JCF34300)

JOSE HERNANDEZ,

         Defendant and Appellant.

         APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Imperial County, Diane B.

Altamirano, Judge. Affirmed.

         Laura R. Sheppard, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and

Appellant.

         No appearance by Respondent.

         Jose Hernandez entered a no contest plea to second degree burglary (Pen. Code,1

§ 459). He was promised probation, however he agreed that if he failed to appear at

1        All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise specified.
sentencing he would be subject to a prison sentence. Hernandez did not appear for

sentencing, and he was later arrested.

       Hernandez was sentenced to the lower term of 16 months in prison, subject to

various fines and fees. One of the fines imposed in the abstract of judgment was a $10

fine pursuant to section 1202.5. The fine was not mentioned by the court at sentencing.

Hernandez filed a timely notice of appeal.

       Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25
Cal. 3d 436 (Wende) indicating that she has been unable to identify any reasonably

arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Counsel asks this court to review the record for

error as mandated by Wende. We offered Hernandez the opportunity to file his own brief

on appeal, but he has not responded.

                                STATEMENT OF FACTS

       On January 13, 2015, Hernandez entered a JC Penney's store, after hours, through

an unlocked door. Hernandez entered with the intent to steal some clothing but was not

able to take anything.

                                         DISCUSSION

       As we have noted, appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Wende, supra, 25
Cal. 3d 436, requesting this court to review the record for error. Pursuant to Anders v.

California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), counsel has identified the following issue:

       Whether the $10 fine imposed in the abstract pursuant to section 1202.5 should be

stricken because it was discretionary and the court did not make an express finding that

Hernandez had the ability to pay.

                                             2
       The issue was never raised in the trial court and is thus waived on appeal. (People

v. Trujillo (2015) 60 Cal. 4th 850.) Thus it does not raise a reasonably arguable issue.

       We have reviewed the entire record and have not discovered any reasonably

arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Competent counsel has represented Hernandez on

this appeal.

                                     DISPOSITION

       The judgment is affirmed.

                                                                  HUFFMAN, Acting P.J.

WE CONCUR:
