           IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

                                   FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

                                                 DIVISION TWO

THE PEOPLE,

         Plaintiff and Respondent,                                       E062615

v.                                                                       (Super.Ct.No. FVI1020024)

KEVIN GERALD MCGRAW,                                                     OPINION

         Defendant and Appellant.

         APPEAL from the Superior Court of San Bernardino County. Michael A. Smith,

Judge. (Retired judge of the San Bernardino Super. Ct. assigned by the Chief Justice

pursuant to art. VI, § 6 of the Cal. Const.) Affirmed.

         Lynelle K. Hee, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and

Appellant.

         No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

                                                             1
           Defendant and appellant Kevin Gerald McGraw filed two petitions for

resentencing pursuant to Penal Code section 1170.126.1 The court denied the petitions.

After defendant filed the notice of appeal, this court appointed counsel to represent

defendant. 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 and identifying one potentially arguable issue: whether the court abused its

discretion in denying defendant’s petitions. We affirm.

                                     PROCEDURAL HISTORY

           On November 2, 2005, a jury convicted defendant of attempted robbery (count 2;

§§ 664/211). After a bifurcated bench trial, the court found true allegations defendant

had suffered two prior strike convictions. (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i) & 1170.12, subds. (a)-

(d).) The court sentenced defendant to an indeterminate term of incarceration of 25 years

to life.

           On May 5, 2014, defendant filed a petition for resentencing. On October 15,

2014, defendant filed another petition for resentencing. On November 25, 2014, the

court denied defendant’s petitions finding, “Defendant’s current commitment offense is

for attempt[ed] robbery [sections] 664/211[,] a serious felony making defendant

ineligible for resentencing under [section] 1170.126.”

           1   All further statutory references are to the Penal Code.

                                                   2
                                           DISCUSSION

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

has not done so. Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we

have independently reviewed the record for potential error and find no arguable issues.

(§§ 1170.126, subd. (b) [“Any person serving an indeterminate term of life imprisonment

. . . upon conviction . . . of a felony . . . that [is] not defined as serious . . . by . . .

subdivision (c) of Section 1170.12, may file a petition for a recall of sentence . . . .”];

1192.7, subds. (c)(1)(19) [“robbery”] & (39) [“any attempt to commit a crime listed in

this subdivision”].)

                                           DISPOSITION

        The order is affirmed.
