P. v. Hidalgo
Defendant Jose Rene Hidalgo appeals from the order denying his petition to recall his 35‑year‑to‑life sentence pursuant to the procedures set forth under Penal Code section 1170.126, added by Proposition 36, the Three Strikes Reform Act of 2012. (All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise specified.) We appointed counsel to represent Hidalgo on appeal. Appointed appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), setting forth the facts of the case and requesting that we review the entire record. Pursuant to Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), appointed appellate counsel suggests we consider whether Hidalgo’s petition was properly denied. This court provided Hidalgo 30 days to file written argument on his own behalf. The 30‑day time period has passed, and Hidalgo has not filed anything on his own behalf.
We have examined the entire record and appointed appellate counsel’s Wende/Anders brief; we find no arguable issue. (Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.) We therefore affirm.
