P. v. Strong CA4/1
Clifford Wayne Strong pleaded guilty to robbery (Pen. Code, § 211). In a separate proceeding, the trial court found true allegations he had a prior serious felony conviction (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)) and a prior strike conviction (§§ 667, subd. (b)–(i), 1170.12). The court sentenced him to nine years in prison.
Strong appeals. His appointed appellate counsel filed a brief under People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441–442, and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, 744, requesting we independently review the record for error. Strong filed a supplemental letter brief asserting the court erred in finding his prior out-of-state conviction qualified as a serious felony and a strike under California law. We conclude the court did not so err, and after independently reviewing the record as counsel requested, we identified no reasonably arguable appellate issues. We, therefore, affirm the judgment.
