 v.

 SERGIO ROSALES,

      Defendant and Appellant.



       Sergio Rosales appeals the judgment entered after he
pleaded no contest to second degree robbery (Pen. Code,1 § 211)
and dissuading a witness from reporting a crime (§ 136.1, subd.
(b)(1)). Appellant also admitted allegations that he personally
used a deadly weapon in committing the offenses (§ 12022, subd.
(b)(1)) and that he committed the crimes for the benefit of a
criminal street gang (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)(C).) Pursuant to



       All statutory references are to the Penal Code unless
         1

otherwise stated.
appellant’s negotiated plea, the trial court sentenced him to an
aggregate term of 13 years in in state prison.2
      Because appellant pleaded no contest prior to a preliminary
hearing, the relevant facts are derived from the probation report.
On the night of February 18, 2019, San Luis Obispo County
Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call regarding a robbery in the
Pirates Cove parking lot. Appellant, an associate of the West
Park criminal street gang, and B.A. were apprehended after
deputies saw them running away from the scene of the crime.
      The deputies also made contact with Kenneth Ulrich, the
victim of the assault. Ulrich said he was sitting in his truck in
the parking lot when appellant and B.A. approached him.
Appellant pointed what appeared to be a semiautomatic handgun
at Ulrich and said, “Get the fuck out of the car.” After Ulrich said
he had nothing to steal, appellant “racked” the gun and told
Ulrich, “Get the fuck out, or I’ll kill you.”
      Appellant took Ulrich’s keys out of the ignition and
removed Ulrich’s iPhone and iPad from the truck. After Ulrich
got out of the truck, appellant continued pointing the gun at him
and said, “I’ll kill you, get the fuck away from the truck.” Ulrich
replied, “[s]hoot me then” and began yelling for someone to call
the police. Appellant and B.A. ran away, dropping Ulrich’s iPad
in the process. Ulrich pursued appellant and B.A. in his truck.
Shortly thereafter, sheriff’s deputies arrived and appellant and
B.A. were apprehended. A BB gun that resembled a semi-


      2 The People initially filed a juvenile warship petition
against appellant pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code
section 602, subdivision (a). Following a hearing, the trial court
ordered that the matter be transferred to adult criminal court in
accordance with Welfare and Institutions Code section 707.


                                 2
automatic pistol and Ulrich’s iPhone were subsequently found in
the area where appellant and B.A. had fled.
       It was later determined that appellant and B.A. had also
attempted to rob Jose Velasquez Sanchez and Abelina Torres
that same evening as they sat in their vehicle in the Pirates Cove
parking lot. One of the perpetrators pointed a gun at Torres and
said, “Open the fucking door or I’ll shoot you and your boyfriend
through the glass.” When Torres tried to call the police on her
cellphone, one of the perpetrators said, “Don’t touch your fucking
phone and close your phone.”
       We appointed counsel to represent appellant in this appeal.
After counsel’s examination of the record, he filed a brief raising
no issues. On May 22, 2020, we advised appellant that he had 30
days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues
he wished us to consider. No response has been received.
       We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that
appellant’s counsel has fully complied with his responsibilities
and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25
Cal.3d 436, 443; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 126.)
       The judgments are affirmed.
