P. v. Rollen
In 2013, a jury convicted Van Keyshone Rollen of one count of attempting to dissuade a witness (Pen. Code,[1] § 136.1, subd. (b)(1); one count of misdemeanor battery (§ 242) and one count of misdemeanor resisting arrest (§ 148, subd. (a)(1)).
In 2016, Rollen filed a petition in the trial court seeking to have his felony conviction reclassified as a misdemeanor pursuant to Proposition 47 (§ 1170.18; the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act). The trial court found that the offense in section 136.1 is not one of the offenses listed in section 1170.18. Accordingly, the court denied the petition. Rollen filed a timely notice of appeal.
Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), indicating he has not been able to identify any reasonably arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Counsel asks this court to review the record for error as mandated by Wende. We offered Rollen the opportunity to file his own brief
