              Lonnie Wilson appeals from an order denying his petition to recall his sentence
under the Three Strikes Reform Act of 2012, added by Proposition 36. (Pen. Code,
§ 1170.126).1 His appointed counsel filed a Wende brief. (People v. Wende (1979)
25 Cal.3d 436.) On April 14, 2014, we directed counsel to send the record and a copy of
counsel’s brief to appellant and notified appellant of his right to respond within 30 days.
Appellant has made no response.
              Appellant was convicted of failure to update his annual registration as a sex
offender and failure to file a change of address as a sex offender (§ 290). He was
sentenced to concurrent terms of 25 years to life in prison under the Three Strikes law,
plus three consecutive five-year enhancements. We affirmed in an unpublished decision.
(People v. Wilson (May 25, 2004, B167080).) As we noted in that decision, the trial
court struck two of defendant’s out-of-state rape convictions, but declined to strike his
remaining strike convictions, which included “a juvenile adjudication for murder in 1974,
and convictions for rape and molestation in 1977.”
              In 2013, appellant petitioned to have his sentence recalled under section 1170.126.
The trial court denied the petition because the prior murder conviction made appellant
ineligible for resentencing.
              Section 1170.126 allows inmates serving an indeterminate life sentence imposed
upon conviction of a felony or felonies that are not defined as serious or violent for
purposes of the Three Strikes law to file a petition for a recall of sentence and request
resentencing. (See § 1170.126, subd. (b).) One of the eligibility conditions for
resentencing is that the inmate have no prior convictions for any of the offenses listed in
section 667, subdivision (e)(2)(C)(iv). (§ 1170.126, subd. (e)(3).) Homicide offenses, as
defined in sections 187 through 191.5, are listed as disqualifying crimes under section
667, subdivision (e)(2)(C)(iv)(IV). Appellant’s juvenile adjudication for murder under
section 187 makes him ineligible for resentencing.
              Our review of the record reveals no arguable issues for appeal.
