         Plaintiff and Respondent,                                       E058821

v.                                                                       (Super.Ct.No. FSB047828)

ALBERT JOSEPH ALVA,                                                      OPINION

         Defendant and Appellant.




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

Judge. (Retired judge of the San Bernardino Super. Ct. assigned by the Chief Justice

pursuant to art. VI, § 6 of the Cal. Const.) Affirmed.

         Leslie A. Rose, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and

Appellant.

         No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

         Defendant and appellant Albert Joseph Alva appeals after the trial court denied his

petition for resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.126, known as the Three Strikes



                                                             1
Reform Act of 2012. (Prop. 36, as approved by voters, Gen. Elec. Nov. 7, 2012.)1

Defendant filed a notice of appeal on May 24, 2013. We affirm.

                               PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

         On June 8, 2000, a jury found defendant guilty of first degree residential burglary.

(§ 459, count 1.) The jury also found that defendant had eight prior strike convictions

(§§ 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d) & 667, subds. (b)-(i)), that he was convicted of two serious

felonies within the meaning of section 667, subdivision (a)(1), and that he had served one

prior prison term (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). The court sentenced him to state prison for 25

years to life on count 1, plus 11 years on the enhancements, for a total term of 36 years to

life.

         On April 24, 2013, defendant filed an in pro. per. petition for resentencing under

section 1170.126. The court denied the petition since defendant’s current conviction was

for a serious offense, which made him ineligible for resentencing under section 1170.126.

(§ 1170.126, subd. (e)(1).)

                                           ANALYSIS

         After the notice of appeal was filed, this court appointed counsel to represent

defendant. 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 [87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d

493], setting forth a statement of the case, a brief statement of the facts, and identifying


         1   All further statutory references will be to the Penal Code, unless otherwise
noted.


                                                2
one potential arguable issue: whether the trial court erred in denying defendant’s petition

for resentencing under section 1170.126.

       Defendant was offered an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, which

he has not done. Under People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have conducted an

independent review of the record and find no arguable issues.

                                     DISPOSITION

       The judgment is affirmed.
