                   Plaintiff and Respondent,                                 (Super. Ct. No. CRF1212)

         v.

MARCUS NELSON HUME,

                   Defendant and Appellant.




         Defendant Marcus Nelson Hume pleaded guilty to second degree murder and
admitted both a prior strike and having discharged a firearm causing great bodily injury
or death. In exchange, the People agreed defendant would serve a stipulated sentence of
55 years to life. Defendant’s ensuing appeal is subject to the principles of People v.
Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110. In
accordance with the latter, we will provide a summary of the offenses and the
proceedings in the trial court.


                                                             1
       On September 11, 2012, an amended information was filed accusing defendant of
second degree murder. (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a).) It was further alleged that
defendant used a firearm to commit his crime (id., former § 12022.5, subd. (a)),
personally used and discharged a firearm causing great bodily injury or death (id., former
§ 12022.53), and had two prior strikes.
       Defendant pleaded guilty to second degree murder, admitted one strike, and
admitted using a firearm to cause great bodily injury or death, in return for the dismissal
of the remaining allegations and a stipulated sentence of 55 years to life (15 years to life,
doubled for the strike, plus 25 years to life for the firearm discharge). The trial court
awarded defendant 291 days of presentence custody credit. The court imposed a $10,000
restitution fine (Pen. Code, § 1202.4, subd. (b)), a suspended $10,000 restitution fine (id.,
§ 1202.45), a $30 criminal conviction fee (Gov. Code, § 70373), and a $40 court
operations fee (Pen. Code, § 1465.8, subd. (a)(1)). The court also ordered victim
restitution totaling $10,018.91 ($4,838.91—pursuant to Pen. Code, § 1202.4, subd. (f)—
and $5,180 to the restitution fund—pursuant to Pen. Code, § 1202.46), reserving the right
to increase the amount later.
       According to Marysville Police Department report No. 1112-2364, to which
counsel stipulated as the factual basis for the plea, on December 31, 2011, defendant,
along with several of his friends, planned to enter the victim’s home and assault him.
Upset about a sex tape the victim made with defendant’s girlfriend, defendant made
repeated statements that he was going to kill the victim.
       An elaborate scheme was then put in place. Some of defendant’s friends were to
stand by as “lookouts,” another (Kari M.) was to call Amber H. (the victim’s girlfriend)
to see if the victim was home, and others planned to “back up” defendant if there were
problems. Kari called Amber and learned the victim was not home. Kari told Amber she
was coming over with some friends, despite Amber’s asking her not to come over. The
individuals responsible for lookout duty assumed their position while defendant and

                                              2
another of his friends drove to Amber’s residence. Defendant brought a sawed-off
shotgun with him.
       Responding to a phone call from Amber, asking for his help, the victim also drove
to Amber’s home. As he approached, defendant and his friends pulled their truck
alongside the victim’s vehicle. Defendant and the victim got out of their respective
vehicles, there was a verbal altercation, and defendant shot the victim in the chest and
face at a distance of approximately 15 to 20 feet. The victim fell to the ground and died
of his injuries.
       Defendant appealed. We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal.
Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case and requests this court
to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal.
(Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was advised by counsel of the right to file a
supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30
days have elapsed, and we have received no communication from defendant. Having
undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no arguable error that would
result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.

                                       DISPOSITION

       The judgment is affirmed.
