California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(a), prohibits courts and parties from citing or relying on opinions not certified for publication or ordered published, except as specified by rule 8.1115(b). This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115. (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. LA072395) APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Gregory A. Dohi, Judge. Affirmed. Allison H. Ting, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

A jury convicted defendant Edmund Dermesropian of one count of felony receiving stolen property (Pen. Code, § 496, subd. (a)) and seven counts of misdemeanor identifying information theft (§ 530.5, subd. (c)(1).) After admitting a prior strike conviction (§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)) and prior prison term (§ 667.5, subd. (b)), defendant was sentenced to a term of seven years in state prison. He appealed from that judgment. (See People v. Dermesropian (Oct. 28, 2015, B256368) [nonpub. opn.].)

Undesignated section references are to the Penal Code. --------

While his prior appeal was pending, the trial court reduced defendant's conviction for receiving stolen property to a misdemeanor, pursuant to Proposition 47. He was resentenced to one year in county jail for that offense (stayed under § 654), and seven consecutive one-year terms in county jail on the remaining counts. Defendant's custody credits were subsequently recalculated to reflect a total of 1,570 days (785 actual time, plus 785 good time), as of the December 15, 2015 resentencing. This timely appeal followed.

After reviewing the record, defendant's court-appointed counsel filed an opening brief, pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, asking this court to conduct an independent review of the record to determine whether any arguable issues. (Id. at p. 441.) On October 1, 2015, we advised defendant he had 30 days within which personally to submit any contentions or issues he wished us to consider. To date we have received no response.

We have reviewed the record in accordance with our obligations under Wende. We are satisfied that defendant's counsel fully complied with her responsibilities, that defendant received adequate and effective appellate review of the judgment in this action and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 109-110; Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 443.)

The judgment is affirmed.
