                                                STATE OF CALIFORNIA

THE PEOPLE,                                                         D064290

         Plaintiff and Respondent,

         v.                                                         (Super. Ct. No. SCD161993)

MARK LAMAR JORDAN,

         Defendant and Appellant.

         APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, David J.

Danielsen, Judge. Affirmed.

         Mark Lamar Jordan, in pro. per.; and Michelle Rogers, under appointment by the

Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

         No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
       In 2002, a jury convicted Mark Lamar Jordan of attempted burglary. (Pen. Code,1

§§ 664, 459.) In bifurcated proceedings, Jordan admitted he had suffered three prison

priors, two felony priors and two strike priors. (§§ 667, subd. (a); 667.5, subd. (b); 668;

1192.7, subd. (c).) The court sentenced him to 25 years to life in state prison. In 2013,

the court denied his motion for resentencing brought under section 1170.126, because his

two prior felonies rendered him ineligible.

       Appointed counsel has filed a brief summarizing the facts and proceedings in the

trial court. Counsel presents no argument for reversal but asks that this court review the

record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal. 3d 436. Pursuant to

Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, counsel refers to the possible but not arguable

issue of whether the trial court erred in failing to grant the resentencing motion.

       We granted Jordan permission to file a brief on his own behalf and he did, arguing

for a reduced sentence because: (1) certain convictions should be stayed under section

654; (2) the judge's statements at sentencing, of which no transcript exists, favor the

reduction; (3) his conviction was for attempted burglary; therefore, he should have been

sentenced to only half of the total sentence imposed under section 664.

       Our review of the entire record pursuant to People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal. 3d 436

and Anders v. California, supra, 386 U.S. 738, including the possible issues referred to

by appellate counsel and Jordan has disclosed no reasonably arguable appellate issues.

                                DISPOSITION

    The judgment is affirmed.
