                                   INTRODUCTION

       Defendant Alfred Eldred Trayham appeals from a judgment of conviction entered
after a jury found him guilty of first degree burglary (Pen. Code, § 459) and found true
the allegation that another person, other than an accomplice, was present in the residence
(id., § 667.5, subd. (c)). The trial court sentenced Trayham to state prison for the middle
term of four years. The court awarded Trayham a total of 249 days of presentence credit
(217 actual days and 32 days of conduct credit). The court ordered Trayham to pay a $40
court operations assessment (id., § 1465.8), a $30 criminal conviction assessment (Gov.
Code, § 70373), and a $240 restitution fine (Pen. Code, § 1202.4, subd. (b)). The court
also imposed and suspended a $240 parole revocation fine (id., § 1202.45).

                                         FACTS

       While Edwin Amaya was in the bathroom brushing his teeth and getting ready for
work, he heard the front door to his apartment open and someone enter his living room.
He heard the sounds of drawers opening and someone “looking for something.” At first
he thought it was his wife, but he did not hear her voice. His three-and-a-half month-old
son was sleeping in the living room. When Amaya went into the living room he saw a
person who was not his wife, but was Trayham, holding a blue plastic bag. After
noticing that the laptop computer was not where he had left it on the chair, Amaya asked
Trayham what he was doing and knocked the bag out of Trayham’s hand. The bag broke,
Amaya’s computer fell out, and Trayham left. Los Angeles Police Department officers
arrested Trayham about a block away, and Amaya immediately recognized him.

                                      DISCUSSION

       We appointed counsel to represent Trayham on appeal. After an examination of
the record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues. On July 11, 2013 we advised

                                             2
Trayham he had 30 days to personally submit any contentions or issues he wished us to
consider. We have received no response to date.
       We have examined the record and are satisfied that Trayham’s attorney has fully
complied with the responsibilities of counsel and that there is no arguable issue. (See
Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 277-284 [120 S.Ct. 746, 145 L.Ed.2d 756]; People
v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 118-119; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)

       The judgment is affirmed.
