IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, A172988 v. LAMONT ROBINSON, (San Francisco City & County Super. Ct. No. 24023442) Defendant and Appellant.

Defendant Lamont Robinson pled guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and was sentenced to 16 months in prison. He appealed, and his appellate counsel asked this court for an independent review of the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Robinson was informed of his right to file a supplemental brief and did not do so. We conclude there are no arguable issues and affirm. I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND In December 2024, San Francisco police responded to a ShotSpotter alert and discovered a parked Toyota Sienna with several holes in its

windshield.1 Eight .45-caliber fired casings were found at the scene, and a blue van registered to Robinson was parked nearby. Surveillance footage from a corner store showed a man shooting at the Sienna earlier that day. The footage also showed the shooter had a dog and, an hour or so before the shooting, was “going in and out of” the blue van. The officer who reviewed the footage testified that the shooter resembled Robinson, based on Robinson’s DMV record. Both men were Black, were of similar height and build, and had what was variously described as “a lazy left eye” or “a distinctive scar or marking” on one eye. Three days after the shooting, the police located the blue van. Robinson and another man approached the van with a dog, which appeared similar to the dog observed with the shooter. The men were arrested, and the van was searched. A loaded .45 Glock 30 firearm was on the van’s rear bench seat, where Robinson had been sitting before he was taken into custody, and a loaded nine-millimeter IntraTec TEC-9 firearm was behind the rear bench seat. Robinson admitted that he owned the TEC-9 but denied that the Glock was his or that he shot at the Sienna. Before the preliminary hearing, Robinson filed a motion to suppress various evidence, including the firearms. He argued that the police lacked probable cause to arrest him because the surveillance footage was insufficient to support his identification as the shooter. At the conclusion of the preliminary hearing, the trial court denied the motion. In January 2025, an information was filed charging Robinson with seven felony counts: two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm, two counts of carrying a loaded firearm in public, one count of unlawfully
