GABRIEL MARMALEJO URIBE, JR.,

                   Defendant and Appellant.




         Appointed counsel for defendant Gabriel Marmalejo Uribe, Jr., has asked us to
review defendant’s conviction pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436
(Wende). We have reviewed the record provided to us and find no error that would result
in a disposition more favorable to defendant. Accordingly, we affirm.




                                                             1
                                    BACKGROUND
       On February 21, 2014, defendant and his cohort Usman Nusrat Khan rang the
doorbell of the home of Farhat Naseem. Naseem was present as were her two toddler
grandchildren and her daughter Aleena Munawar. When Naseem opened the door, Khan
pointed a gun at her and forced his way into the house. He made Naseem sit on the sofa
next to her granddaughter and demanded money and jewelry. Naseem removed her
bracelets and ring and gave him money. Khan handed the gun to defendant, who pointed
the gun at Naseem while Khan went upstairs.
       Munawar was upstairs with the grandson when she heard the commotion and her
mother screaming and crying downstairs. Munawar looked downstairs and saw two men
in hoodies. She then went into her room, locked the door, and called 911. Munawar
heard drawers opening and things being moved. Khan kicked in her door and Munawar
recognized him from high school. Khan demanded money and jewelry. Munawar said
she had neither in the house. As Khan searched the upstairs, Munawar went downstairs,
where defendant pointed the gun at her and directed her to sit next to Naseem on the sofa.
Defendant then pointed the gun at Naseem, who was crying. Defendant told Khan to
hurry up and Khan came downstairs. Khan took Naseem’s purse from the kitchen but left
it there when Munawar told him there were medical papers in the purse.
       Defendant and Khan then started out the front door, but the police had arrived.
Defendant fled through the house and out of the back door, dropping the loaded gun
inside the house. Officers found him hiding inside a garbage can; he resisted as they tried
to take him into custody. Police found an iPhone and several gold rings on him.
Defendant and Khan had taken a bracelet, rings, and an iPhone from the house.
       At the preliminary hearing, Munawar and Naseem both testified. Defendant’s
attorney cross-examined Munawar, objected during Naseem’s testimony (to
nonresponsive answers), and cross-examined the officer who identified the gun.
Defendant did not testify. The resulting information, after amendment, charged

                                            2
defendant with three counts of robbery in concert within an inhabited dwelling (Pen.
Code, §§ 211, 213, subd. (a)(1)(A);1 counts 1 (Munawar), 2 (Naseem), 3 (grandson));
first degree burglary with a person present (§ 459; count 4); two counts of assault with a
semiautomatic firearm (§ 245, subd. (b); counts 5 (Munawar) and 6 (Naseem)); and
resisting a peace officer, a misdemeanor (§ 148; count 7). In connection with counts 1
through 3, it was further alleged that defendant personally used a firearm (§ 12022.53,
subd. (b)) and in connection with counts 1 through 4, that he personally used a firearm in
the commission of a felony (§ 12022.5, subd. (a)).
        The clerk’s minutes of June 12, 2015, reflect that defendant waived his right to a
jury trial. The record on appeal does not include a reporter’s transcript for June 12.
However, on June 23, 2015, defendant again waived jury trial and agreed to submit the
case for decision on the preliminary hearing transcript and waive any hearsay objections.
Before doing so, he conferred at length with counsel. While taking the waiver, the trial
court advised defendant that he was likely to be found guilty if he submitted the case in
this manner, described in detail the penalties and consequences for the offenses, and
specifically obtained his waiver of his right to cross-examine witnesses. The court also
advised defendant multiple times that he retained the right to present evidence and to
testify. There was no agreed-upon disposition; ultimately defendant and Khan submitted
on the preliminary hearing transcript. Khan’s attorney submitted an exhibit and argued
his case at length; defendant’s counsel joined in Khan’s argument and submitted.
        The trial court acquitted defendant on count 3. On counts 1 and 2, the court found
defendant not guilty of robbery in concert but guilty of the lesser offense of robbery
perpetrated in an inhabited dwelling. (§ 212.5, subd. (a).) The court found defendant

                                              3
guilty on counts 4 through 7. The court found the firearm allegations to be true in
connection with counts 1, 2, and 4.
       In defendant’s sentencing statement, defense counsel acknowledged that defendant
waived his jury trial right and agreed to a court trial on the preliminary hearing transcript.
Counsel conceded the court advised defendant as to his rights and possible consequences,
but claimed that “neither the parties nor the court discussed the actual or potential
consequences of proceeding in such manner.” As we have described, the record reflects
otherwise.
       The court sentenced defendant to state prison for an aggregate term of 13 years as
follows: count 1, the low term of three years plus 10 years for the firearm enhancement
(§ 12022.53, subd. (b)) and a stayed 10-year term for the second firearm enhancement
(§ 12022.5, subd. (a)); count 2, a concurrent low term of three years plus a concurrent 10
years for the firearm enhancement (§ 12022.53, subd. (b)) and a stayed 10-year term for
the second firearm enhancement (§ 12022.5, subd. (a)); count 4, the low term of two
years plus 10 years for the firearm enhancement (§ 12022.5, subd. (a)), stayed pursuant to
section 654; counts 5 and 6, the low term of three years for each, stayed pursuant to
section 654; and count 7, a concurrent 180-day jail term.
       Defendant appeals.
                                       DISCUSSION
       Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case and requests this
court 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.
