COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

STATE OF CALIFORNIA

THE PEOPLE, D084271

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v. (Super. Ct. No. SCS329307)

ROGER TEDI EDWARDS,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Garry G. Haehnle, Judge. Affirmed. John L. Staley, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

Roger Tedi Edwards appeals from his robbery and burglary convictions. His appointed appellate counsel filed an opening brief raising no arguable issues pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders). Edwards also filed a

supplemental brief on his own behalf. Our independent review confirms there are no arguable issues on appeal. We therefore affirm the conviction.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

In 2023, Edwards broke into the restaurant at Enagic Golf Course in Eastlake. When confronted by Enagic employee Jorge Pineda, Edwards displayed a screwdriver and left the restaurant with several bottles of liquor and a plate of food. Speaking to a responding officer, Pineda denied that Edwards threatened him. However, Pineda later told a detective that when Edwards pulled out the screwdriver, Edwards said, “ ‘If you call the police, I’m going to kill you.’ ”
