P. v. Karas CA2/5
Defendant and appellant Maged L. Karas filed an application seeking to have a felony conviction be designated a misdemeanor conviction under Proposition 47. (Pen. Code, § 1170.18 .) In his application, defendant contended he was convicted on September 27, 1982, of violating section 211 (robbery). The trial court denied the application, ruling a conviction for violating section 211 does not qualify for relief under Proposition 47.
On appeal, defendant’s appointed counsel filed an opening brief in accordance with People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, requesting this court to conduct an independent review of the record to determine if there are any arguable issues on appeal. On February 9, 2017, we gave notice to defendant that counsel had failed to find any arguable issues, and defendant had 30 days within which to submit by brief or letter any grounds of appeal, contentions, or arguments he wished this court to consider. Defendant did not file a brief or letter. We affirm.
