         Plaintiff and Respondent,                                   (Los Angeles County
                                                                     Super. Ct. No. KA103801)
         v.

PERRY CALVIN WASHINGTON,

         Defendant and Appellant.


         APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Douglas
Sortino, Judge. Affirmed.
         James C. Huber, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and
Appellant.
         No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
       Appellant Perry Calvin Washington pled no contest to one count of petty theft
with a prior theft-related conviction in violation of Penal Code section 666 and admitted
that he had suffered one prior strike conviction. The trial court sentenced appellant to the
low term of 16 months, doubled to 32 months pursuant to section 1170.12, subdivision
(b) (the “three strikes” law).
       Appellant appeals from the judgment. Finding no error, we affirm.


                                            Facts
       According to the complaint in this matter, appellant was alleged to have stolen
property from a Home Depot store on November 16, 2013. Because appellant pled no
contest in this matter, no further facts are found in the record on appeal.


                                         Discussion
       Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal, and we appointed counsel to represent
him on appeal. Appellant’s counsel filed an opening brief pursuant to People v. Wende
(1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, and requested this court to independently review the record on
appeal to determine whether any arguable issues exist.
       On August 8, 2014, we advised appellant he had 30 days in which to personally
submit any contentions or issues which he wished us to consider. On August 25, 2014,
we received a supplemental brief from appellant.
       In his brief, appellant questions whether a 30-year-old conviction can be used to
double his sentence under the three strikes law and contends the age of his prior
conviction should preclude the limitation on post-sentence conduct credits found in the
three strikes law.
       We have examined the entire record and are satisfied appellant’s attorney has fully
complied with his responsibilities and no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende, supra,
25 Cal.3d at p. 441.) Specifically, a 30-year-old robbery conviction may be used to
sentence a defendant under the three strikes law. (See People v. O’Roark (1998) 63
Cal.App.4th 872 [robbery convictions from 1978 and 1984 qualified as strikes for

                                              2
purposes of the three strikes law].) The limitation on post-sentence credit in the three
strikes law is mandatory, and courts do not have the authority to change that limitation
based on the particulars of a defendant’s circumstances. (Pen. Code, § 1170.12, subd.
(a)(5).)


                                        Disposition
       The judgment is affirmed.
