THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, A172463 v. JESSE JAMES CHAMBERLIN, (City & County of San Francisco Defendant and Appellant. Super. Ct. Nos. CRI-22008858, CRI-22008968)

This is an appeal from judgment after a jury convicted defendant Jesse James Chamberlin of burglary, theft, attempted burglary, possession of burglar tools, and resisting or obstructing a peace officer. Defendant’s appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), raising no issue for review and requesting that we conduct our own independent review of the record. Defendant did not exercise his right to file a supplemental brief. Having considered the record in accordance with Wende, we affirm. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND On July 17, 2024, defendant was convicted by a jury of the following: first degree residential burglary (count I; Pen. Code, § 459);1 theft of personal

property (count II; § 487, subd. (a)); possession of burglar tools (count III; § 466, subd. (a)); attempted first degree residential burglary (count IV; §§ 459, 664); and resisting/obstructing/delaying a peace officer (counts V–VI; § 148, subd. (a)(1)). Defendant’s conviction was based on three separate criminal incidents occurring in San Francisco. The first incident (counts I–III) occurred on June 5, 2022. Defendant, equipped with bolt cutters, entered a residential garage on Parkridge Drive and took a bicycle and a bicycle frame. The resident of the property returned home to find that his garage door, which had been closed and locked, was open. When the resident entered the garage, he saw that his “Japanese pull saw” was out of place on the garage floor. He also found a pair of bolt cutters that he had never seen before. The police were notified. The resident provided the responding police officer with surveillance footage from his building’s security camera. The resident did not recognize the person appearing in the surveillance footage. The officer seized the bolt cutters as evidence and booked them into evidence. Testing subsequently revealed that defendant’s DNA was found on the bolt cutters. The second incident (count IV) occurred on May 19, 2022, on 19th Avenue. Officer Glennon Griffin, dressed in civilian clothes, observed defendant using a tool to manipulate two separate door handles on adjoining garage doors at two residences. The officer then saw defendant move on and turn the handle of the garage door at a third residence, but he did not open the door. Officer Griffin exited his vehicle to confront defendant. Defendant walked past him, entered a maroon sport utility vehicle (SUV) parked nearby, and drove away, saying something to the effect of, “It’s not personal.” Officer Griffin briefly followed defendant before ending his pursuit for safety
