Appointed counsel for defendant Gilbert Rodriguez asked this court to review the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case. Defendant was advised of his right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed, and we received no communication from defendant. Finding no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant, we affirm.
We provide the following brief description of the facts and procedural history of the case. (See People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110, 124.)
On October 1, 2014, defendant pled to attempted receiving stolen metals by a junk or secondhand dealer, a felony (Pen. Code, § 496a, subd. (a)),
On October 30, 2014, the trial court sentenced him to 16 months in prison, as the parties had agreed.
On February 26, 2015, defendant filed a petition for resentencing pursuant to Proposition 47, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act (§ 1170.18), requesting that the trial court reduce his felony conviction to a misdemeanor.
On April 8, 2015, the trial court denied the petition because defendant's conviction did not qualify for resentencing under Proposition 47.
On May 19, 2015, defendant filed a notice of appeal.
On November 4, 2014, California voters enacted Proposition 47, and it went into effect the next day. (People v. Rivera (2015) 233 Cal.App.4th 1085, 1089.) "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)." (Id. at p. 1091.)
"Proposition 47 also created a new resentencing provision: section 1170.18. Under section 1170.18, a person `currently serving' a felony sentence for an offense that is now a misdemeanor under Proposition 47, may petition for a recall of that sentence and request resentencing in accordance with the statutes that were added or amended by Proposition 47. (§ 1170.18, subd. (a).)" (People v. Rivera, supra, 233 Cal.App.4th at p. 1092.)
Receiving stolen metal (§ 496a, subd. (a)) is not among the offenses listed in section 1170.18. Furthermore, unlike some other theft-related crimes, the value of the property received has no bearing on eligibility for resentencing. (See, e.g., § 496, subd. (a) [receiving stolen property is misdemeanor when value of property does not exceed $950].) The trial court properly denied defendant's petition for resentencing.
We see no other arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.
The order denying defendant's petition for resentencing pursuant to Proposition 47 is affirmed.
