SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION SIX


THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

JOSE LUIS ALVARADO,

Defendant and Appellant.
2d Crim. No. B279604
(Super. Ct. No. 2016013158)
(Ventura County)

Jose Luis Alvarado appeals the judgment following conviction by jury of unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle, a felony. (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a).) The jury found true allegations of a strike prior (Pen. Code, § 1170.12, subd. (c)(1)) and three prior convictions which qualified for prior prison term enhancements under Penal Code section 667.5, subdivision (b).
Appellant went to a car sales lot in Oxnard. He began looking at a Nissan pickup truck parked on the far side of the lot. The pickup’s engine was running because employees at the lot were rearranging the vehicles. Appellant got into the pickup and drove away. He was arrested after an employee alerted law enforcement.
Appellant was sentenced to five years in state prison; including the midterm of two years, doubled for a strike prior, plus a one-year enhancement for a prison prior (two prison priors were stricken).
We appointed counsel to represent appellant on this appeal. After counsel’s examination of the record, he filed an opening brief raising no issues. On April 24, 2017, we advised appellant by mail that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that he wished to raise on appeal. We have not received a response.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that appellant’s attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
