         APPEAL from the Superior Court of Riverside County. Becky L. Dugan, Judge.

         Denise M. Rudasill, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and

Appellant.

                                                             1
       Defendant David Thomas Ostrander appeals from the superior court’s denial of his

Proposition 47 petitions for resentencing regarding two convictions for second degree

burglary (Pen. Code, § 459).1 We affirm the court’s rulings.

                                  FACTS AND PROCEDURE

       On March 23, 2013, defendant broke into a locked vehicle and took some property

from it. In case No. RIF1302080, defendant pled guilty to second degree burglary

(§ 459) and another charge and admitted prior convictions.

       On July 17, 2014, defendant unlawfully entered a golf course clubhouse with the

intent to steal. In case No. RIF1409183, he pled guilty to second degree burglary and

admitted prior convictions.

       In November 2014, California voters approved Proposition 47. “Proposition 47

makes certain drug- and theft-related offenses misdemeanors, unless the offenses were

committed by certain ineligible defendants. These offenses had previously been

designated as either felonies or wobblers (crimes that can be punished as either felonies

or misdemeanors).” (People v. Rivera (2015) 233 Cal. App. 4th 1085, 1091.)

“Proposition 47 also created a new resentencing provision: section 1170.18. Under

section 1170.18, a person ‘currently serving’ a felony sentence for an offense that is now

a misdemeanor under Proposition 47, may petition for a recall of that sentence and

request resentencing in accordance with the statutes that were added or amended by

Proposition 47.” (Id. at p. 1092.)

       1   All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise indicated.

                                              2
       On February 5, 2015, defendant filed two petitions under section 1170.18 seeking

to have his burglary convictions in the two above cases reduced to misdemeanors.

       On March 3, 2015, the People filed responses arguing neither burglary was

eligible for redesignation because case No. RIF1302080 was for the burglary of a car and

case No. RIF1409183 was for the burglary of a “Noncommercial establishment. Golf

course clubhouse.”

       On March 30, 2015, the superior court denied both petitions on the grounds argued

by the People.

       This appeal followed.

                                       DISCUSSION

       Upon defendant’s request, this court appointed counsel to represent him. 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, pointing out a

potentially arguable issue and requesting this court to undertake a review of the entire

record.

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

has not done so. We have now concluded our independent review of the entire record

and find no arguable issues. (People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal. 4th 106, 124.)

                                             3
                                     DISPOSITION

      The superior court’s orders denying defendant’s petitions for resentencing are

affirmed.
