v.

MATT LEWIS CRANDALL,

     Defendant and Appellant.




                   Matt Lewis Crandall appeals the judgment entered after he pled guilty to
carrying a concealed firearm (Pen. Code,1 former § 12021, subd. (a)(1), now § 29800,
subd. (a)). Pursuant to a negotiated disposition, the trial court sentenced him to two years
in state prison. Appellant was awarded one day of presentence custody credit.
                   Because appellant pled guilty prior to a preliminary hearing, the relevant
facts are derived from the probation report. The police conducted a search of a truck
appellant was driving and found a pistol. Appellant claimed the gun was not his, but
admitted knowledge of its presence in the truck. Appellant has numerous prior felony
convictions that prohibit him from possessing a firearm.




         1 All further undesignated statutory references are to the Penal Code.
              We appointed counsel to represent appellant in this appeal. After
examining the record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues and requesting that
we independently examine the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.
              On August 20, 2013, we advised appellant in writing that he had 30 days
within which to personally submit any contentions or issues he wished to raise on appeal.
In a timely response, appellant raises two claims regarding his entitlement to presentence
custody credits. First, he claims he should be awarded additional credits from the date he
entered his plea on January 9, 2013, until his sentencing on March 13, 2013. Appellant
was awarded only one credit (for the date of his arrest) due to the fact that the remainder
of his time in custody was spent serving a county jail sentence for unrelated charges in
three other cases in Santa Barbara County. Appellant claims that if he had known he
would not receive any additional credit toward his sentence in this case, he "would have
demanded" that he be sentenced when he entered his no contest plea on January 9, 2013.
Instead, his attorney waived time for sentencing and asked that he be sentenced on March
13, 2013. Appellant reasons "that if [he] was granted these credits, [he] would be in
county custody 60 days earlier rather than in state prison."
              This claim does not present an arguable issue for review. The record does
not reflect defense counsel's reasons for requesting that sentencing be put over, nor does
it reflect that appellant was unaware of the fact he was not earning presentence custody
credit in this case. Moreover, appellant has not identified any legitimate, protected
interest in "be[ing] in county custody 60 days earlier rather than in state prison."
              Appellant's second credit claim relates to the time he allegedly spent in
custody in Santa Barbara County from February 2011 until June 2011. Appellant asserts
that he "bailed out on that case yet San [L]uis [Obispo County] placed a hold on me so I
had to re-bail on there [sic] case as well." He then claims that this showing of "strict
causation" entitles him to "duplicate" credits pursuant to the rule established in In re
Joyner (1989) 48 Cal.3d 487, 489. The record is devoid, however, of any evidence to
support appellant's assertions that he was in custody during the stated time period, that he
made bail in the Santa Barbara County case, that a no-bail hold was placed on him by San

                                              2
Luis Obispo County as a result of this case, or that he would have been free from custody
but for such a hold. He has thus failed to meet his burden of showing that he is entitled to
duplicative credits. (Ibid.)
              Having examined the entire record, we are satisfied that appointed counsel
has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v.
Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 123–124; People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.)
              The judgment is affirmed.
