ROBERT CRUZ PAYAN,                                                       ORDER MODIFYING OPINION
                                                                         [NO CHANGE IN JUDGMENT]
         Defendant and Appellant.




         The opinion filed in this matter on November 20, 2013, is hereby modified, as

follows:

         1. On page two, the fifth full paragraph and the first full paragraph on page three

are deleted and replaced with the following:

                 Section 1170.126, subdivision (e)(3) provides, as pertinent here, that
         a defendant is eligible for resentencing if “[t]he inmate has no prior
         convictions for any of the offenses appearing in clause (iv) of subparagraph
         (C) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (e) of Section 667 or clause (iv) of
         subparagraph (C) of paragraph 2 of subdivision (c) of Section 1170.12.”
         Defendant’s prior convictions include one for forcible rape (§ 261, subd.
         (a)(2), former § 261.2) committed in 1980. This is a sexually violent
         offense under section 1170.12, subdivision (c)(2)(C)(iv)(I). As such,


                                                             1
      defendant was ineligible for resentencing under section 1170.126,
      subdivision (e)(3).
             The court denied the petition, finding that defendant’s prior
      convictions included one for section 261.2, which made him ineligible for
      resentencing. Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal.


      Except for this modification, the opinion remains unchanged. This modification

does not change the judgment.

         Defendant and Appellant.



         APPEAL from the Superior Court of San Bernardino County. Michael A. Smith,

Judge. Affirmed.

         Lynelle K. Hee, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and

Apellant.

         No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.




                                                             1
       Defendant Robert Cruz Payan appeals from an order denying his petition for recall

of his indeterminate life term under Penal Code section 1170.126, subdivision (f).1 We

will affirm the order.

                                       BACKGROUND

       Defendant was convicted in February 2003 of possessing a controlled substance

(Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)). It was also found true that defendant had

sustained two prior strike convictions (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12) and three prison

priors (§ 667.5, subd. (b)).

       In April 2003, the court sentenced defendant to 28 years to life in state prison.

       On November 6, 2012, the electorate passed Proposition 36, also known as the

Three Strikes Reform Act. Among other things, this ballot measure enacted section

1170.126, which permits persons currently serving an indeterminate life term under the

three strikes law to file a petition in the sentencing court, seeking to be resentenced to a

determinate term as a second striker. (§ 1170.126, subd. (f).) If the trial court

determines, in its discretion, that the defendant meets the criteria of section 1170.126,

subdivision (e), the court may resentence the defendant. (§ 1170.126, subds. (f) & (g).)

       Section 1170.126, subdivision (e)(3) provides, as pertinent here, that a defendant

is eligible for resentencing if “[t]he inmate has no prior convictions for any of the

offenses appearing in clause (iv) of subparagraph (C) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (e)

of Section 667 or clause (iv) of subparagraph (C) of paragraph 2 of subdivision (c) of


       1   All future statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise stated.

                                              2
Section 1170.12.” Defendant’s convictions include lewd and lascivious acts against a

child under the age of 14 years (§ 288, subd. (a)). A violation of section 288 against a

child under the age of 14 years is defined as a serious felony pursuant to sections 667,

subdivision (e)(2)(C)(iv)(III) and 1170.12, subdivision (c)(2)(C)(iv)(III). As such,

defendant was ineligible for resentencing under section 1170.126, subdivision (e)(3).

       The court denied the petition, finding that defendant’s strikes included a

conviction for section 288, subdivision (a), which made him ineligible for resentencing.

Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal.

                                       DISCUSSION

       We appointed counsel to represent defendant on appeal. After examination of the

record, counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d

436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, setting forth a statement of the case, a

summary of the facts and potential arguable issues, and requesting this court conduct an

independent review of the record.

       We offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, but he

has not done so. Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we

have independently reviewed the record for potential error and find no arguable issues.

                                    DISPOSITION

     The order denying defendant’s petition for recall is affirmed.
