IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION FIVE

THE PEOPLE, B246451 Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. BA398052) v. JAMAL BRIAN KING, Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Stephen A. Marcus, Judge. Affirmed.

Marilyn Weiss Alper, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

___________________________ The jury found defendant and appellant Jamal Brian King guilty in counts 1 and 2 of second degree robbery with personal use of a handgun (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 12022.53, subd. (b))1 and in count 3 of controlled substance possession with a loaded firearm (Health & Saf. Code § 11370.1, subd. (a)).

Defendant was sentenced to state prison for the low term of two years as to count 1, plus ten years pursuant to section 12022.53, subdivision (b) and a consecutive sentence of one year was imposed on count 2 (one-third of the midterm sentence of three years), plus three years four months (one-third of ten years) pursuant to section 12022.53, subdivision (b). As to count 3, the midterm of three years was imposed to run concurrently with the sentences in counts 1 and 2 for a total sentence of 16 years 4 months.

Defendant filed a timely appeal. This court appointed counsel to represent him on appeal. On August 12, 2013, defense counsel filed a brief raising no issues and requesting this court review the record for arguable appellate contentions pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. This court advised defendant of his right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days. No supplemental brief has been filed by defendant.

Our review of the record reveals no arguable contentions on appeal. The convictions on the various counts are supported by substantial evidence. There are no arguable evidentiary issues. The sentence imposed was within the range of that provided by law.

1 Unless otherwise indicated, all statutory references are to the Penal Code.
