Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. 23CJCF00477) v.

MYRON LEE,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Victoria B. Wilson, Judge. Affirmed. James M. Crawford, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

__________________________

Myron Lee appeals from a judgment after the trial court denied his motion to withdraw his no contest plea to second degree robbery and sentenced him to prison for four years. We appointed counsel to represent Lee on appeal. After reviewing the record counsel for Lee filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 that did not identify any arguable issues. After independently reviewing the record, we have not identified any either. Therefore, we affirm.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

A. The People Charge Lee with Two Counts of Second Degree Robbery On October 20, 2023 Lee and his partner chased two men into the lobby of a hotel, pointed a gun at them, and ordered one of them to hand over his watch and necklaces. The victim handed over the jewelry, valued at $133,000, and Lee and his partner fled in a black car with paper license plates. Police officers were later able to recover fingerprints matching Lee’s from the scene. The People charged Lee with two counts of second degree robbery (Pen. Code, § 211). The People alleged that Lee had a prior serious or violent felony conviction, within the meaning of the three strikes law (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subds. (b)-(j), 1170.12), and that there were aggravating circumstances, within the meaning of California Rules of Court, rule 4.421(a)(2), (a)(8), (9), (b)(1), (2), and (5).
