P. v. Zanebis
Pursuant to a negotiated plea, following a full advisement of rights, appellant George Zanebis pled guilty to the low term of two years for second degree robbery, doubled for one strike, plus one year for a hate crime enhancement under Penal Code section 422.75, subdivision (a). He was sentenced in accordance with the plea. His appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), raising no issues. He was notified that he could file his own brief and has not done so. He applied for a certificate of probable cause, which was denied. At the preliminary hearing, Vickie M. and her 13-year-old daughter F. testified that appellant walked up to them on the street. Vickie M. and F. both wore outer garments called hijabs. Appellant said he was with some division of the Marines. He ordered Vickie M. and F. to give him all of their property. They refused. Then appellant said he was with the KKK. He threatened to kill Vickie M. if she did not give him all of her property. He picked up a glass bottle of beer from a bucket he was carrying, swung the bottle, and broke it on the ground. He threw part of the bottle at F., striking her at the waist. He called Vickie M. and F. names like mother fuckers, bitch, and niggers. He said something about their being Muslims. He then grabbed boots and two pairs of sunglasses from Fs bag and ran away. The judgment is affirmed.
