P. v. Collins
Defendant and appellant Bobby Lee Collins (defendant) appeals his judgment of conviction of first degree burglary. His appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), raising no issues. On October 28, 2013, we notified defendant of his counsel’s brief and gave him leave to file, within 30 days, his own brief or letter stating any grounds or argument he might wish to have considered. That time has elapsed, and defendant has submitted no brief or letter. We have reviewed the entire record, and finding no arguable issues affirm the judgment.
In an amended information, defendant was charged with the first degree burglary of an inhabited, occupied dwelling, in violation of Penal Code section 459.[1] The information also alleged that defendant had been convicted in 1979 of a prior serious or violent felony within the meaning of the “Three Strikes†Law, sections 667, subdivisions (b) through (i), and 1170.12, subdivisions (a) through (d), and for purposes of section 667, subdivision (a)(1); and that defendant had served prior prison terms within the meaning of section 667.5, subdivision (b).
At trial, the prosecution presented evidence showing that on January 18, 2013, defendant used a ladder to access the bathroom window of an occupied residence, removed a screen from its frame and opened the window. A neighbor saw defendant in the yard of the residence, confronted him, and later identified him.
