JOSE OSCAR RODRIGUEZ,                                                    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.

         Neil Auwarter, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and

Appellant.

         No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

                                                             1
       In 1994, a jury convicted defendant and appellant Jose Oscar Rodriguez of two

counts of attempted murder under Penal Code1 sections 664 and 187, subdivision (a); one

count of shooting at an occupied motor vehicle under section 246; and one count of being

an active participant in a criminal street gang under section 186.22, subdivision (a). The

court imposed an aggregate prison term of 34 years to life, including two consecutive

terms of 15 years to life for the attempted murder counts.

       On February 19, 2014, defendant filed an in propria persona petition entitled

“Petition for Recall of Sentence/Waiver of Personal Appearance [¶] Penal Code

§1170.126.” The body of the petition, however, stated that defendant sought parole

under section 3051, which authorizes early parole for life inmates whose crimes were

committed prior to age 18.2 On May 2, 2014, the trial court denied the petition. It stated

that defendant’s commitment was for serious felonies, making him ineligible for

resentencing under section 1170.126.

       On May 12, 2014, defendant filed a timely notice of appeal.

                      FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

       The facts of defendant’s underlying offenses are not provided in the record.

                                       DISCUSSION

       After defendant appealed, and upon his request, this court appointed counsel to

represent him. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979)

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

       2   Defendant was 17 years, 8 months old when he committed his offenses.

                                              2
25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 setting forth a statement of

the case, a summary of the facts, and potential arguable issues, 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. Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we

have conducted an independent review of the record and find no arguable issues.

                                      DISPOSITION

       The judgment is affirmed.
