v.                                                                       (Super.Ct.No. FVI019995)

MARQUISE DESEAN WEST,                                                    OPINION

         Defendant and Appellant.



         APPEAL from the Superior Court of San Bernardino County. John M. Pacheco,

Judge. Affirmed.

         Jared G. Coleman, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and

Appellant.

         No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

         Defendant Marquise West was sentenced to 12 years in prison after pleading

guilty to second degree robbery with a firearm enhancement. He appeals from the

superior court’s order denying his petition to have his conviction re-designated a

misdemeanor under Proposition 47. We affirm the court’s ruling.

                                                             1
                                  FACTS AND PROCEDURE

       On September 29, 2004, defendant used force and fear to take personal property

from the victim; from the charging documents, it appears this took place during the

armed robbery of a pawn shop.

       On January 12, 2005, the People filed a six-felony information charging defendant

with second-degree commercial burglary (Pen. Code, § 459),1 three counts of second-

degree robbery (§ 211), and two counts of assault with a firearm (§ 245, subd. (a)(2)).

The People also alleged that defendant personally used a firearm (§ 12022.53, subd. (b)),

and that the last five counts were serious/violent felonies (§§ 1192.7, subd. (c), 667.5,

subd. (b)).

       On July 22, 2005, defendant pled guilty to a single count of second degree robbery

and admitted to personally using a firearm. The remaining charges were dismissed as

part of the plea agreement. Also on that date the court sentenced defendant to the lower

term of two years for the robbery, plus ten years consecutive for the firearm

enhancement.

       On November 4, 2014, voters enacted Proposition 47, entitled “the Safe

Neighborhoods and Schools Act” (hereafter Proposition 47). It went into effect the next

day. (Cal. Const., art. II, § 10, subd. (a).) As of its effective date, Proposition 47

classifies as misdemeanors certain drug- and theft-related offenses that previously were

felonies or “wobblers,” unless they were committed by certain ineligible defendants.

(§ 1170.18, subd. (a).)

       On April 1, 2015, defendant filed a petition under section 1170.18 asking that his

sentence be recalled and reduced to a misdemeanor.

       On April 22, 2015, the People filed a response opposing the petition on the

grounds that robbery is not eligible for re-classification under Proposition 47 as a matter

of law. Also on that date, the court denied petition on the grounds put forth by the

People.

       This appeal followed.

                                       DISCUSSION

       After defendant appealed, upon his request, this court appointed counsel to

represent him on appeal. 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 and a summary of the facts, and asking this court to 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 entire record for potential error and find no arguable

error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.

                                       DISPOSITION

       The order denying defendant’s Proposition 47 petition is affirmed.
