                  PROCEDURAL AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND

       After waiving his right to a preliminary hearing, Glenn Edward Traylor pleaded
guilty on March 4, 2014 to two counts of second degree burglary (Pen. Code, § 459) and
admitted having previously served 19 separate prison terms for felonies (Pen. Code,
§ 667.5, subd. (b)) as charged in a felony complaint. The court sentenced Traylor to the
upper term of three years on each count to be served concurrently and dismissed a prior
strike allegation and the prior prison term enhancements in the interests of justice.
       On December 11, 2014, Traylor filed a petition seeking to reduce his felony
convictions for second degree burglary to misdemeanors under Proposition 47, the Safe
Neighborhood and Schools Act (Pen. Code, § 1170.18). The trial court denied the
petition, finding Traylor was not eligible for resentencing under Proposition 47. Traylor
filed a timely notice of appeal.

                                      DISCUSSION

       We appointed counsel to represent Traylor on appeal. After examination of the
record, counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised. On June 16, 2015
we advised Traylor he had 30 days within which to submit any contentions or issues he
wished us to consider. We have received no response.
       “Proposition 47 makes certain drug- and theft-related offenses misdemeanors,
unless the offenses were committed by certain ineligible defendants. These offenses had
previously been designated as either felonies or wobblers (crimes that can be punished as
either felonies or misdemeanors).” (People v. Rivera (2015) 233 Cal. App. 4th 1085,
1091.) To this end, “Proposition 47 (1) added chapter 33 to the Government Code
(§ 7599 et seq.), (2) added sections 459.5, 490.2, and 1170.18 to the Penal Code, and
(3) amended Penal Code sections 473, 476a, 496, and 666 and Health and Safety Code
sections 11350, 11357, and 11377. (Ballot Pamp., Gen. Elec. (Nov. 4, 2014) text of

                                              2
Prop. 47, §§ 4-14, pp. 70-74.)” (Ibid.) Traylor’s conviction for second degree burglary
(burglary of an automobile) is not within the scope of Proposition 47.
       We have examined the entire record and are satisfied Traylor’s appellate attorney
has fully complied with the responsibilities of counsel and no arguable issue exists.

441-442.)

                                     DISPOSITION

       The order is affirmed.
