       A jury convicted appellant Jorge Chavez (Chavez) of two counts of robbery. The
jury also found that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon in the
commission of the offenses. Chavez raises several challenges to his convictions and his
sentence, including claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, evidentiary and
instructional error, error under People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal. 3d 118 (Marsden),
improper dual use of facts at sentencing, and error in the abstract of judgment.
       We reject all of Chavez’s contentions except those pertaining to the sentencing
and abstract of judgment issues. Consequently, we will remand the case for resentencing
and correction of any errors in the abstract of judgment.
                    FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL SUMMARY
       Paradise Market is located on the corner of Vineyard and 6th Street in Madera.
On the evening of August 26, 2011, Victor Cortez Delarosa purchased beer and items
with which to make soup. As he was walking home down an alley, two Hispanic juvenile
males approached him and demanded his wallet. He claimed he did not have it with him,
and one of the juveniles, 16-year-old Chavez, displayed a switchblade knife, scaring
Delarosa. Chavez grabbed the beer and fled.
       Nearby, Misrael Jimenez Hernandez was purchasing a burrito from a taco truck
parked across the street from Paradise Market. After completing his purchase, he walked
down an alley towards his home. Chavez and another male approached Hernandez and
Chavez demanded his money. Hernandez offered to give each of them $10 if they left
him alone. Chavez asked Hernandez how much money he had, to which he replied he
had $40.
       Hernandez took a step back and tried to walk away but the other male blocked his
path. Chavez pulled out a switchblade knife with a blade that was three to five inches
long and acted as if he was going to stab Hernandez. Scared, Hernandez handed over all
his money. Chavez and the other juvenile fled the scene.

                                             2.
       Hernandez immediately called 911 on his cell phone. Officer Josiah Arnold of the
Madera Police Department arrived shortly thereafter. Hernandez reported that the two
juveniles who had robbed him ran into a house at 127 1/2 Sycamore Street, which was
Chavez’s residence. While Arnold interviewed Hernandez, another officer called on his
radio to tell Arnold that one of the suspects was headed his way.
       Arnold saw Chavez run by 127 1/2 Sycamore Street, and Arnold ordered him to
get on the ground. As he was being apprehended, Chavez threw something behind him.
Chavez was wearing clothing that was consistent with the description provided by
Hernandez, and later Delarosa. Arnold placed Chavez under arrest. Chavez’s
companion, Angel H., ran around the corner but was apprehended and arrested.
       Officer Hector Garibay issued the advisements pursuant to Miranda v. Arizona
(1966) 384 U.S. 436 to Chavez, and Chavez waived his Miranda rights. Garibay asked
Chavez if he was willing to apologize to Hernandez; Chavez said he would if Garibay let
him. Garibay asked Chavez what had happened and Chavez stated, “We robbed him.”
Chavez claimed he did it because he “was bored” and that he took about $40 from
Hernandez.
       While officers were investigating the robbery against Hernandez, Delarosa
approached Garibay and reported that he had been robbed. Officer Robert Hill took a
report from Delarosa with the help of a Spanish interpreter. Delarosa nodded toward the
police cruiser and indicated the two juveniles in police custody were the perpetrators.
Delarosa identified Chavez as the one who had wielded the knife. Delarosa told Hill he
did not want to testify against Chavez; he was concerned because Chavez lived across the
alley from him.
       Officer Josh Chavez also interviewed Chavez. The officer asked where the knife
was and whether Chavez would turn it over to law enforcement. Chavez took officers to
his home, retrieved the knife, and turned it over.

                                             3.
       Hernandez subsequently identified the knife as the one that had been used against
him in the robbery and identified Chavez as the one who had wielded the knife.
Hernandez also identified Chavez at trial as one of the robbers.
       The information filed by the prosecution charged Chavez with two counts of
robbery, violations of Penal Code section 211,1 and that he personally used a dangerous
and deadly weapon in the commission of the offenses, in violation of section 12022,
subdivision (b)(1). The information also alleged that Chavez was at least 16 years old at
the time of the commission of the offenses, and, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions
Code section 707, subdivision (d)(1), he should be deemed unfit for treatment as a
juvenile.
       The trial began on February 15, 2012, and on February 23, 2012, the jury
convicted Chavez of both charges and found the enhancements true. On April 26, 2012,
Chavez asked the trial court to appoint substitute counsel so he could file a motion for
new trial on the basis of ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court conducted a
Marsden hearing and denied the request.
       Chavez was sentenced to a term of five years on count 1, one-third the midterm on
count 2 (one year), one year for the deadly weapon enhancement appended to count 1,
and four months for the weapon enhancement appended to count 2, for a total term of
seven years four months. The trial court ordered Chavez to be housed at the Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) (formerly the
California Youth Authority) until his 18th birthday.

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

                                               4.
                                       DISCUSSION
       Chavez raises multiple challenges to his convictions. He contends the trial court
erred in the admission of evidence by allowing hearsay testimony and testimony that he
belonged to a gang and committed prior uncharged acts. Chavez also contends defense
counsel was ineffective in his handling of the evidentiary issues, in failing to request the
trial court instruct the jury with CALCRIM No. 375, and by failing to move for a
mistrial. Chavez further contends the trial court erred in failing to instruct with
CALCRIM No. 375, in denying his Marsden motion, and in violating the dual use of
facts rule in sentencing. Finally, Chavez contends the abstract of judgment contains
clerical errors, a point the People concede.
I.     Prior Crimes and Gang Evidence
       Chavez contends the trial court erred prejudicially in allowing testimony by
Hernandez that Chavez was a gang member and had committed prior uncharged acts. He
also challenges testimony from law enforcement officers about prior robberies in the area
and prior police contacts.
       Standard of Review
       The standard of review for the admission of evidence is abuse of discretion.
(People v. Ewoldt (1994) 7 Cal. 4th 380, 405.) A judgment shall not be set aside because
evidence was erroneously admitted unless, after an examination of the entire cause, we
conclude there has been a miscarriage of justice. (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 13.) A
miscarriage of justice occurs if it is reasonably probable the defendant would have
received a more favorable result had the error not occurred. (People v. Breverman (1998)
19 Cal. 4th 142, 149.)
       Factual Summary
       When Hernandez testified, he mentioned there had been prior robberies in the area
and stated, “I was walking through the alley. In front of me I saw three subjects well, and
more or less I kind of had the idea because I had been held up before by them.” Defense

                                               5.
counsel objected, the trial court sustained the objection, struck the last part of
Hernandez’s answer, and instructed the jury to disregard the comment.
       Later in his testimony, Hernandez stated he did not give police officers his correct
name at the time of the robbery because he feared retaliation from “the guy’s gang.”
Defense counsel again objected, but the trial court overruled the objection. The trial
court, however, did admonish the jury as follows:

       “It’s what was in his mind and it goes to fear so it is relevant but, ladies and
       gentlemen, it’s -- to be real clear, there’s no allegations that the defendant is
       in a gang. And so you can consider it for his fear, but please do not in any
       way think that because Mr. Hernandez said that that the defendant is in a
       gang.”
       Still later Hernandez testified that he had lived in the neighborhood for about a
year prior to the robbery and had seen Chavez during that time. When asked how many
times he had seen Chavez, Hernandez stated, “Well, with the gangs and stuff, I can’t say
that I have seen him face to face .…” Hernandez testified he had seen Chavez three
times, always with other people. Defense counsel asked, “That was about three times
while they’re robbing other people?” Hernandez responded, “No. I have never said that
they have been robbing other people.”
       Hernandez also testified that the males he saw in the alley the night he was robbed
were “cholos,” which he defined as “a group of gangs.” Hernandez also stated the police
officer asked him “what kind of people [he] thought they were.” He told the officer “they
were like gangsters like from that one gang,” and he named the Sureños. After this
exchange, the trial court admonished the jury:

       “Ladies and gentlemen, once again, I will just point out that this -- I am
       allowing this not to show that the defendant was in a gang because that’s
       not even an issue before us, it’s just to show that this -- what this witness
       was thinking and why he may have done certain things and that’s the sole
       reason I am allowing it.”

                                              6.
       During defense counsel’s examination of Arnold, Arnold stated, in response to a
question, that some descriptive information about Chavez was not in the report of the
incident but might be in an “M and I record.” Arnold also made a comment to the effect,
“If it’s his first contact, I would have written it.” The terms “M and I record” and “first
contact” were not explained. Officers Garibay and Hill testified that prior robberies in
the alley had resulted in increased patrols in the area.
       Analysis
       Chavez claims the trial court’s admonitions were insufficient because the trial
court failed to admonish the jury “concerning the evidence of prior assault[,] which sent
Hernandez to the hospital, the prior assault in which Hernandez’s friend was pistol
whipped[,] or the prior robberies committed by [Chavez].” He also contends the
testimony from officers about prior contacts was prejudicial error. Chavez, however, has
forfeited this contention because he failed to request any additional admonitions in the
trial court or move to strike the testimony. (People v. Bacigalupo (1991) 1 Cal. 4th 103,
142 (Bacigalupo).)
       Chavez also argues that allowing Hernandez to refer to gangs in his testimony,
plus the testimony from officers about prior “first contact” with law enforcement, was
prejudicial error. Chavez is incorrect. The trial court admonished the jury twice that
there was no evidence Chavez was in a gang, gang membership was not an issue in the
case, and the testimony was being offered solely for the purpose of explaining
Hernandez’s actions and his state of mind. We presume the jury followed the trial court’s
admonitions and instructions. (People v. Fuiava (2012) 53 Cal. 4th 622, 669.)
       As for Garibay’s and Hill’s comments about other robberies in the area, those
comments were brief and were offered to explain their rapid arrival on the scene a mere
30 seconds or so after the 911 call.
       Again, with respect to the challenged testimony from Garibay, Hill, and Arnold,
no objection was interposed and no motion to strike the testimony was made. Therefore,

                                              7.
any challenge to this testimony is forfeited for purposes of appeal. (Bacigalupo, supra,
1 Cal.4th at p. 142.)
       We also conclude there was no ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to
object because Chavez suffered no prejudice. (See People v. Hamilton (1988) 45 Cal. 3d
351, 377 [to establish ineffectiveness of counsel, defendant must show both deficient
performance and prejudice].) To establish prejudice, the defendant must make a showing
“sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome” as there is a “reasonable
probability” that but for counsel’s performance “the result of the proceeding would have
been different.” (Strickland v. Washington (1984) 466 U.S. 668, 693-694.) A reviewing
court can adjudicate an ineffective assistance claim solely on the issue of prejudice
without evaluating counsel’s performance. (Id. at p. 697.)
       We conclude there was no prejudice for two reasons. First, there was no
testimony from Hernandez or anyone else that Chavez had been responsible for any prior
assault on Hernandez, the pistol whipping of Hernandez’s friend, or that Chavez had
robbed anyone previously. Hernandez testified that prior to the instant offense, Chavez
had never threatened him or asked him for money. Thus, no further admonition was
needed because Chavez’s factual assertions here are incorrect and do not provide a basis
for his claim.
       Second, the evidence of Chavez’s guilt was overwhelming. Chavez confessed to
Garibay that he had committed a robbery and had taken about $40 from the victim. The
amount Chavez admitted taking was the amount taken from Hernandez. Chavez turned
over to police the knife he used during the robbery, and Hernandez identified that knife as
the one used in the robbery. Also, Chavez was apprehended at the location where
Hernandez saw the robbers head after committing the robbery. In addition, Delarosa
accurately described Chavez to police officers and later identified Chavez as the person
who had robbed him at knife point.

                                             8.
        Under these facts, any error in admission of the testimony is not prejudicial as it is
not reasonably probable a result more favorable to Chavez would have been achieved in
the absence of the challenged testimony. (People v. Welch (1999) 20 Cal. 4th 701, 749-
750.)
II.     Prior Identification Evidence
        Chavez contends that allowing Garibay to testify to Delarosa’s identification of
him shortly after the robbery, when Delarosa would not identify him at trial, constitutes
erroneous admission of hearsay. Again, Chavez’s failure to interpose a hearsay objection
forfeits this issue for purposes of appeal. (People v. Wheeler (1992) 4 Cal. 4th 284, 300.)
Although the issue is forfeited, we briefly address the merits of the contention because of
Chavez’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.
        Analysis
        At trial, Delarosa described the two people who had robbed him, but he did not
identify Chavez as one of the robbers. Delarosa conceded he was shown one suspect
(Angel H.) in a patrol car the night of the robbery. He neither admitted nor denied
identifying that person as one of the perpetrators, and he denied being shown a second
suspect (Chavez).
        Later, Garibay testified that Delarosa identified the robbers the night of the
robbery. Hill testified that on the night of the robbery, Delarosa identified Chavez as the
robber who had wielded the knife. Hill also testified that Angel H. was the perpetrator in
the patrol car at the time Delarosa identified Chavez.
        Here, Delarosa’s denial at trial that he was shown a second suspect the night of the
robbery contradicted his statements the night of the robbery identifying Chavez as one of
the robbers. As such, Delarosa’s out-of-court statements were admissible as prior
inconsistent statements under Evidence Code section 1235. (People v. Homick (2012) 55
Cal. 4th 816, 859.) Consequently, the trial court did not err in admitting the prior
statements made by Delarosa.

                                              9.
       Chavez’s claim that his counsel was ineffective for failing to object to this
testimony also fails. Counsel is not required to make futile objections or advance
meritless arguments in order to avoid a claim of ineffective assistance. (People v. Diaz
(1992) 3 Cal. 4th 495, 562 (Diaz); People v. Jones (1979) 96 Cal. App. 3d 820, 827.)
III.   CALCRIM No. 375
       Chavez contends the trial court had a sua sponte duty to instruct the jury with
CALCRIM No. 375 (evidence of uncharged offense to prove identity, intent, common
plan). We disagree.
       Except in extraordinary cases, a trial court, as a general rule, has no duty to give a
sua sponte limiting instruction. (People v. Rogers (2006) 39 Cal. 4th 826, 864.) A narrow
exception to the rule exists where “‘evidence of past offenses is a dominant part of the
evidence against the accused, and is both highly prejudicial and minimally relevant to any
legitimate purpose.’” (Ibid., quoting People v. Collie (1981) 30 Cal. 3d 43, 64.) This case
does not present an extraordinary situation.
       Here, contrary to Chavez’s assertion, there was no testimony that Chavez was a
gang member or that he committed a prior offense. The testimony from Hernandez,
Garibay, and Hill about other robberies in the area did not link these robberies to Chavez.
Hernandez mentioned the other robberies to explain his fear and his actions, but he
specifically testified that prior to the charged offense, Chavez had never threatened him
or asked him for money. The officers mentioned the crime in the area to explain the
unusually rapid response to the 911 call. Moreover, the trial court twice instructed the
jury on the limited use of the testimony and specifically stated there was no evidence that
Chavez was in a gang.
       Nor was defense counsel ineffective for failing to request CALCRIM No. 375, as
Chavez can show no prejudice. The requisite showing is lacking since (1) the instruction
was inapplicable, and (2) even if Chavez’s attorney had requested CALCRIM No. 375,
the outcome of the proceeding would have been the same as discussed ante in part I.

                                               10.
IV.    Motion for New Trial
       Chavez raises three related contentions around a motion for new trial: (1) defense
counsel was ineffective for failing to move for a new trial; (2) the trial court erred in
denying his motion for substitute counsel to file a new trial motion; and (3) the trial court
erred by proceeding to judgment without considering his motion for new trial. All of
these contentions fail.
       Factual Summary
       Prior to sentencing, defense counsel informed the trial court that Chavez wanted to
move for a new trial based on ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court conducted
a hearing pursuant to Marsden, supra, 2 Cal. 2d 118, outside the presence of the
prosecutor. During the Marsden hearing, the trial court asked Chavez why he wanted to
file for a new trial. Chavez responded, “I don’t know.” The trial court then asked
Chavez why he thought his attorney had not done a good job. Chavez had no response.
       Defense counsel then proceeded to respond for Chavez. Defense counsel stated
that Chavez had asked him to try and obtain a plea agreement so that Chavez pled to a
nonstrike offense, or, alternatively, to obtain a commitment to the local juvenile hall if he
pled to a strike offense. Defense counsel indicated that Chavez had wanted to avoid a
commitment to state prison or to the California Youth Authority; Chavez wanted only a
commitment to the local juvenile hall. The trial court informed counsel that there was no
such thing as the California Youth Authority.
       Defense counsel proceeded to state that Chavez would have accepted the offer of
two years on a strike offense if he could serve his time in the local juvenile hall. Defense
counsel also stated, “And as it turns out, his sentence is going to be in juvenile hall until
he turns 18.” Defense counsel admitted, however, that negotiations broke down with the
district attorney’s office and all offers had been withdrawn.
       After defense counsel finished his comments, the trial court again asked Chavez
why he wanted a motion for a new trial. Chavez did not respond. The trial court again

                                             11.
asked Chavez why he felt defense counsel had been ineffective; again, Chavez did not
respond. The trial court then denied the Marsden motion.
       Analysis
       Chavez argues the trial court abused its discretion in denying his Marsden motion.
We disagree. A defendant is entitled to substitute counsel if the record shows that
counsel is not providing adequate representation, or that the defendant and his counsel
have become embroiled in such an irreconcilable conflict that ineffective representation
likely will result. (People v. Barnett (1998) 17 Cal. 4th 1044, 1085 (Barnett).)
       Here, when asked, Chavez had no response as to why he wanted to file a motion
for new trial or why he felt defense counsel was ineffective. Defense counsel then stated
that the prosecution had offered to allow Chavez to plead guilty to a strike offense with a
two-year lid. Defense counsel informed Chavez the time would not be served in a local
commitment; Chavez rejected the offer. Defense counsel then opined that his
representation had been deficient because Chavez would have been eligible to serve his
two-year term in a local commitment in juvenile hall.
       Contrary to defense counsel’s statement, the prosecution never offered a plea
agreement that called for serving time in a local facility. As Chavez concedes on appeal,
defense counsel’s comment during the Marsden hearing that serving a two-year
commitment with the DJJ meant the two years would be served in a local juvenile hall
was factually incorrect. This did not constitute a showing that defense counsel’s
representation was deficient or that Chavez and his counsel were embroiled in an
irreconcilable conflict. (Barnett, supra 17 Cal.4th at p. 1085.) All it established was that
Chavez wanted local commitment time, which was never offered by the prosecution.
       Chavez asserts the Marsden motion should have been granted because defense
counsel affirmatively advised him not to accept the plea agreement that called for a plea
to a strike offense with a two-year lid. Not so. There is no evidence whatsoever of this
advice in the record.

                                            12.
       Also, Chavez failed to assert this ground at the Marsden hearing. When asked,
Chavez had no comment to make as to why defense counsel was ineffective and why he
needed new counsel to file a motion for new trial. The trial court was not obligated sua
sponte to engage in a fishing expedition to try and elicit a comment from Chavez.
(People v. Lara (2001) 86 Cal. App. 4th 139, 151-152.) Chavez twice was asked to
articulate his reasons and failed to respond. If Chavez now contends he was advised not
to accept the plea, such a contention should be raised in a petition for writ of habeas
corpus. (Diaz, supra, 3 Cal.4th at pp. 557-558.)
       We also reject Chavez’s contention the trial court erred by proceeding to judgment
without considering his motion for new trial. There can be no error when no motion for
new trial was filed or orally requested. Failure to move for a new trial prior to
pronouncement of judgment constitutes a waiver of the right to a new trial. (People v.
Braxton (2004) 34 Cal. 4th 798, 813-815.)
       Chavez, however, contends that any right to file a new trial motion is not waived
and the issue is not forfeited on appeal because he sought appointment of substitute
counsel based on ineffective assistance of counsel, which was denied. We disagree. As
we concluded that Chavez’s motion for substitute counsel was properly denied, this
reason to revive a failure to file a motion for new trial fails. Regardless, any motion for
new trial lacked merit and defense counsel was not ineffective for failing to bring a
meritless motion. (Diaz, supra, 3 Cal.4th at p. 562.) Defense counsel discussed the
terms of the plea offer with Chavez, conveyed the offer to plea to a strike offense with a
two-year lid, and attempted to negotiate a plea for a nonstrike offense and local
commitment time. The record reflects defense counsel was unable to obtain an offer with
the parameters Chavez found acceptable.
V.     No Cumulative Error
       Chavez maintains the cumulative effect of his claims of error surrounding the
admission of evidence, instructional issue, and new trial are such that his right to due

                                             13.
process was denied and a reversal of his convictions is warranted. Having concluded
there were no errors, or any errors were harmless, we conclude there was no cumulative
error that deprived Chavez of due process. (People v. Vieira (2005) 35 Cal. 4th 264, 294.)
VI.    Dual Use
       Chavez contends the trial court impermissibly made dual use of facts at
sentencing. The People contend this issue is forfeited, but concede that the trial court
impermissibly made dual use of facts. We conclude the issue is not forfeited; therefore,
we will remand for resentencing.
       The probation report listed two aggravating factors: (1) Chavez engaged in violent
conduct that indicated a danger to society, and (2) Chavez was on juvenile deferred entry
of judgment for battery with serious bodily injury at the time he committed the current
offense. The probation officer opined there were no mitigating factors.
       At sentencing, the prosecutor argued for the upper term of imprisonment to be
imposed and contended additional aggravating factors, other than those listed by the
probation officer, were present. Defense counsel argued there were mitigating factors
and, after probation was denied, urged the trial court to select the midterm.
       With respect to imposition of the aggravated or upper term sentence, defense
counsel twice argued that the trial court could not use the fact Chavez was armed with a
weapon, the knife, both to aggravate the sentence and to impose a weapon enhancement.
Defense counsel specifically objected that the probation report used the fact Chavez was
armed with a knife as the basis for one of its aggravating factors and as the basis for
imposing a weapon enhancement. Although the trial court indicated it agreed and stated
it would not use the fact Chavez was armed with a weapon to aggravate any of the
offenses, it proceeded to do exactly that, as the People concede.
       The trial court stated two reasons for imposing the aggravated term: (1) the
offense involved a threat of great bodily harm, and (2) Chavez engaged in violent
conduct that was a danger to society. The second factor cited by the trial court was the

                                             14.
same aggravating factor set forth in the probation report, to which defense counsel
objected as a dual use of facts if also used to impose a weapon enhancement.
       Both factors cited by the trial court, as the People concede, must be based factually
on Chavez’s use of a knife. Chavez did not engage in any physical altercation with the
victims, other than the wielding of a knife. Thus, the use of the knife constitutes the
factual basis for the finding the crime involved a threat of great bodily harm.
       Additionally, the use of the knife by Chavez seems to be the only factual basis for
the finding that, in the commission of the current offense, Chavez engaged in violent
conduct that posed a danger to society. Where a defendant’s use of a weapon is used as a
factual basis for imposition of an aggravated term, as well as imposition of a weapon
enhancement, it constitutes an impermissible dual use. (People v. Arbee (1983) 143
Cal. App. 3d 351, 356.)
       Although the probation report and the prosecutor cited other facts that could be
used to support an aggravated term, the trial court did not refer to them when imposing
sentence. We are unable to determine on this record whether the trial court would impose
a different term, or rely on other factors referred to by the prosecutor and probation
officer to impose an aggravated term. Consequently, we will remand for resentencing.
(People v. Alvarado (1982) 133 Cal. App. 3d 1003, 1027-1028.)
VII.   Correction of Abstract of Judgment
       Chavez points out that the abstract of judgment does not reflect the trial court’s
oral pronouncement of sentence accurately. He is correct. The People agree the abstract
of judgment should be amended to conform to the oral pronouncement. (People v. Farell
(2002) 28 Cal. 4th 381, 384, fn. 2.)
       The term imposed for the section 12022, subdivision (b)(1) enhancement can be
corrected at the time of sentencing after remand.

                                     DISPOSITION
      The convictions and true findings are affirmed. The matter is remanded to the trial
court for resentencing and preparation of a corrected abstract of judgment.
