FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION THREE

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent, G063018

v. (Super. Ct. No. 98NF1293)

ROBERT DEAN McCLURE, OPINION

Defendant and Appellant.

Appeal from a postjudgment order of the Superior Court of Orange County, Jonathan S. Fish, Judge. Affirmed. Richard Schwartzberg, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance by Plaintiff and Respondent.

Robert Dean McClure appeals the denial of his petition for resentencing pursuant to Penal Code section 1172.6. However, his appellate attorney filed a brief under the procedures described in People v. Delgadillo (2022) 14 Cal.5th 216, declaring he was unable to find any issues to raise on appellant’s behalf. And having independently reviewed the record, we have not detected any arguable issues either. We therefore affirm the trial court’s denial order. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND In 1999, appellant was convicted of attempting to murder a man over a paternity dispute. (Pen. Code, §§ 664/187, subd. (a).) The jury also found appellant acted with premeditation and deliberation and that he personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim by discharging a firearm. (Pen. Code, §§ 12022.5, 12022.7, 12022.53, subds. (a) & (d).) The trial court sentenced him to life in prison, and we affirmed the judgment on appeal. (People v. McClure (Feb. 27, 2001, G026706) [nonpub. opn.].) In 2023, appellant petitioned for resentencing under Penal Code section 1172.6. Following a response by the People and a hearing at which appellant was represented by appointed counsel, the trial court summarily denied his petition on the basis he failed to make a prima facie showing for relief. On appeal, appointed counsel filed a brief raising no issues but requesting that we independently review the record pursuant to People v. Delgadillo, supra, 14 Cal.5th 216. We informed appellant of his right to file a supplemental brief, however he declined to do so. Exercising our discretion and in the interest of justice, we have examined the entire record for any arguable issues. (See id. at p. 230.) But our examination has only confirmed
