                              __________________________
                       INTRODUCTION

      On December 30, 2019 Deandre Angello Green petitioned
the superior court to recall his 2017 felony sentence for
dissuading a witness from reporting a crime (Pen. Code, § 136.1,
subd. (b)) and to resentence him under Proposition 47, the Safe
Neighborhoods and Schools Act (Pen. Code, § 1170.18). The
superior court denied the petition, ruling the offense of
dissuading a witness “remain[ed] chargeable as a felony after the
enactment of Proposition 47.” Green timely appealed. We affirm.

                         DISCUSSION

       We appointed counsel to represent Green on appeal. After
reviewing the record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no
issues. Counsel also sent Green a copy of the opening brief, the
transcripts of the record on appeal, and a letter informing Green
of his right to file a supplemental brief. We have not received a
response.
       The superior court correctly ruled Green is not entitled to
resentencing on his 2017 conviction for dissuading a witness from
reporting a crime. A defendant who commits that crime is not
eligible for resentencing under Proposition 47. (See Pen. Code,
§ 1170.18, subd. (a).)
       We have examined the record and are satisfied that
appellate counsel for Green has complied with his responsibilities
and that there are no arguable issues. (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, 441-442.)

                         DISPOSITION

     The order is affirmed.
