COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION ONE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

THE PEOPLE, D083995 Plaintiff and Respondent, v. (Super. Ct. No. SCD187650) ODILON ALBARRAN, Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Frederick Maguire, Judge. Affirmed.

Odilon Albarran, in pro. per.; and Aaron J. Schechter, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

In 2006, a jury convicted Odilon Albarran of first-degree murder (Pen.

Code,1 § 187, subd. (a)). The jury found he personally used a deadly weapon and committed the murder during a robbery. The court sentenced Albarran to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

1 All statutory references are to the Penal Code. Albarran appealed and this court affirmed the judgment in an unpublished opinion. (People v. Albarran (Jan. 13, 2009, D050959).)

In July 2022, Albarran filed a petition for resentencing under section 1172.6. The trial court denied the petition at the prima facie hearing.

Albarran appealed and this court reversed the order and remanded the case for an evidentiary hearing. (People v. Albarran (Nov. 9, 2023, D081608).)

On remand, the trial court issued an order to show cause and held an evidentiary hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, the trial court found the prosecution had proven Albarran guilty of first-degree murder under current law. The court denied the petition for resentencing.

Albarran filed a timely notice of appeal.

Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) indicating counsel has not been able to identify any arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Counsel asks the court to independently review the record for error as required by Wende.

We offered Albarran the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal. He has responded with a supplemental brief in which he simply cites the possible issues set forth in the opening brief. Albarran does not identify any other possible issues or point to any error by the trial court. In short, he does not raise any arguable issues for reversal on appeal.

The facts of the offense are fully set forth in our opinion in the original appeal. We will not repeat the factual summary here.

DISCUSSION As we have noted, appellate counsel has filed a Wende brief and asks the court to review the record for error as required by Wende. To assist the court in its rereview, and in compliance with Anders v. California (1967) 386

2 U.S. 738 (Anders), counsel has identified several possible issues that were considered in evaluating the potential merits of this appeal: 1. What standard of appellate review should be applied to the review of the trial court’s decision following an evidentiary hearing?

2. Whether the trial court erred in finding Albarran was proved guilty of murder beyond a reasonable doubt under current law.

3. Whether the trial court erred in denying Albarran’s petition for resentencing.

We have independently reviewed the record for error as required by Wende and Anders. We have not discovered any arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Competent counsel has represented Albarran on this appeal.

DISPOSITION The judgment is affirmed.
