Appellant’s conviction was based upon the following facts: On October 31, 2013, at approximately 3:30 a.m. Kevos Walker was in the front seat of a parked cab, engaged in an act of prostitution with the driver. An individual approached the cab and opened the driver’s door. The cab driver quickly closed the door. The individual called out to appellant, who approached the cab; pointed a gun at Walker and the cab driver; and demanded money. Walker believed the gun was silver or black and “looked like [] a .25.” Walker threw $80 out the cab window and one of the robbers picked it up. Walker saw a black car with a female driver parked near the cab. She had seen the same car and driver earlier in the day circle the area where she and other prostitutes worked. The cab driver backed the cab up and drove away.

At approximately 4:15 a.m. that same morning, police officers stopped a black sedan that fit the description of the robbery suspect vehicle. There were four occupants in the vehicle; the driver was a woman, and appellant was one of the two rear seat passengers. A search of the vehicle uncovered a silver .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol wedged into a seam in the back of the front passenger seat. Appellant was arrested and a booking search disclosed $90, on his person.

We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that appellant’s attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)

The judgment is affirmed.
