         v.

SCOTT C. SEEHAUSEN,

         Defendant and Appellant.

THE COURT*
         Scott C. Seehausen appeals from the postjudgment order denying his petition for
recall of commitment for sentence modification pursuant to Penal Code section 1170,
subdivision (d).1
         We appointed counsel to represent him on this appeal.
         After examination of the record, counsel filed an “Opening Brief” in which no
issues were raised.

*        BOREN, P.J.                           CHAVEZ, J.                             HOFFSTADT, J.
1        All further section references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise specified.
       On October 5, 2015, we advised appellant that he had 30 days within which to
submit personally any contentions or issues which he wished us to consider. Appellant
has not filed a response.
       In an unpublished opinion (Jun. 1, 2009, B211557),2 this Court affirmed the
judgment entered following a jury trial that resulted in appellant’s conviction of first
degree burglary (§ 459; count 1) and grand theft (§ 487, subd. (a); count 2). The jury
found true appellant had been convicted of attempted murder (§§ 664, 187) within the
meaning of the Three Strikes law (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)). The
record established on July 17, 2007, appellant examined one of two diamonds Edward
Antablin, a diamond dealer, presented. While Antablin was distracted, he took the
second diamond from its box. Later, Antablin discovered that diamond was missing. On
August 1, 2007, a jewelry store clerk identified the diamond reported stolen as the one he
had appraised for appellant. Appellant was arrested the same day. The next day,
appellant told Antablin he had found the diamond in his sock. That same day he paid
Antablin $5,800 in cash and $100 by check for the diamond.
       Appellant was sentenced to a total term of 17 years in state prison as follows: on
count 1, the upper term of six years doubled to 12 years for the strike, plus the five-year
prior serious felony enhancement (§667, subd. (a)); on count 2, eight months (one-third
the midterm of 24 months), doubled to 16 months, stayed pursuant to section 654.
       In his petition, appellant challenged his sentence on the grounds the punishment
imposed was disproportionate “[c]ompared to other similarly situated offenders” “for the
purpose of ‘equal protection’” and involved the impermissible dual of use the same facts
to enhance his sentence.

2      We take judicial notice of this opinion and our subsequent unpublished opinion
(Feb. 27, 2015, B257858) in which this Court affirmed the order denying appellant’s
various demands and motions filed in the superior court. (Evid. Code, §§ 452,
subd.(d)(1), 459.)

                                              2
       Appellant has raised no arguable issues. We have examined the entire record and
are satisfied appellant’s attorney has complied fully with his responsibilities and that no
arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal. 3d 436, 441.)
       The order denying the petition is affirmed.
       NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE OFFICIAL REPORTS.
