I. INTRODUCTION



Following a jury trial, appellant
was convicted of second degree robbery
(Pen. Code, § 211). [1] The jury further found he personally used a
handgun in the commission of the offense (§ 12022.53, subd. (b)) and that
appellant personally inflicted great bodily injury (§ 12022.7, subd. (a)). The court found appellant had two prior
convictions for serious or violent felonies within the meaning of the Three
Strikes law (§ 1170.12, subds.(a)–(d)) and section 667, subdivision
(a)(1). He was sentenced to 23 years
plus an indeterminate term of 25 years to life.




II. FACTS



Appellant,
wearing a postal worker uniform, entered Cash Depot carrying a package. After asking an employee to sign for the
package, appellant grabbed the employee and struck her numerous times with a
handgun. Later that day, she was found
lying on the floor and $3,691 was missing from the store.

As a result of the attack, the
employee had multiple skull and facial fractures, a broken nose, a broken
bridge in her mouth, facial palsy, damage to nerves in her eyes, lacerations on
her face, and teeth knocked out. She
spent five days in the hospital.

Appellant's
fingerprints were found on a United States Post Office envelope recovered from
the crime scene. Although the employee
could not remember being attacked, she identified appellant as the person who
entered the store dressed as a postal worker.
Appellant was identified by his ex-wife on a surveillance video
depicting the robbery.

The court
appointed counsel to represent
appellant on appeal. On August 3, 2010,

to independently review the record for arguable issues on appeal. Appellant was notified by letter from this
court on August 3, 2010, of
his right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days. On September
17, 2020, the clerk received written notification from appointed
counsel indicating appellant â€
