v.

KENNETH A. FARMER, JR.,

     Defendant and Appellant.

                   Kenneth A. Farmer, Jr., was convicted of first degree burglary (Pen. Code,
§ 459), a serious felony (§ 1192.7, subd. (c)(18)). Because Farmer had three or more
prior "strike" convictions he was sentenced to an indeterminate term of 30 years to life
under the three strikes law (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i); 1170.12).1
                   Farmer petitioned for a recall of his sentence pursuant to Proposition 36
(§ 1170.126). The trial court denied the petition on the ground that first degree burglary
is a serious felony, making Farmer ineligible for resentencing (id., subd. (e)(2)). Farmer
appeals.
                   We appointed counsel to represent Farmer in this appeal. After counsel's
examination of the record he filed a brief raising no issues.

    All statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise stated.
              On May 28, 2014, counsel wrote to Farmer informing him he had 30 days
to submit to us any issues or contentions he wished to raise on appeal. Farmer has made
no such submission. We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Farmer's
counsel has fully complied with his responsibilities, and that no arguable issue exists.
(People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal. 3d 436, 441.)
              The judgment (order) is affirmed.
              NOT TO BE PUBLISHED.
