_________________________
Jesse Valenzuela Torres appeals the judgment entered after conviction by jury of petty theft with a prior
conviction for a theft-related offense for which he served a prison term. (Pen. Code, § 666.) Torres admitted one prior conviction of robbery within the meaning of the Three Strikes law (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subs. (b)-(i), 1170.12) and admitted three prior prison terms within the meaning of Penal Code section 667.5, subdivision (b). The trial court struck the prior conviction of robbery alleged under the Three Strikes law in furtherance of justice (People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497) and sentenced Torres to a term of five years in state prison.
We appointed counsel to represent Torres on this appeal. After examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief which raised no issues and requested this court to conduct an independent review of the record. By notice filed July 7, 2006, the clerk of this court advised Torres to submit any contention, ground of appeal or argument he wished this court to consider within 30 days. No response has been received to date.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied Torres's counsel has complied fully with counsel's responsibilities. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 278-284 [145 L.Ed.2d 756]; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 443.)

The judgment is affirmed.
