* Before Kane, Acting P.J., Franson, J., and Smith, J.

Appointed counsel for defendant Jose Luis Robles asked this court to review the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case. Defendant was advised of his right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed, and we received no communication from defendant. Finding no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant, we affirm. We provide the following brief description of the facts and procedural history of the case. (See People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110, 124.) On August 19, 2011, defendant pled guilty to possession of heroin in prison (Pen. Code, § 4573.6)1 and admitted a prior strike conviction (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)). Defendant had been convicted of murder in another case. On August 19, 2011, the trial court sentenced him to six years in prison, to be served consecutively to his incomplete sentence. On February 17, 2015, defendant filed a pro. per. petition for resentencing pursuant to Proposition 47, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act (§ 1170.18), requesting that the court reduce his felony conviction for possession of heroin in prison (§ 4573.6) to a misdemeanor. His petition stated that his “circumstances fit within the meaning and intent of this new law. While serving a 25 to life term for murder, [he] took a 6 year deal here for possession of a controlled substance to run consecutively with his life sentence.” The prosecutor response stated section 4573.6 is not an eligible offense pursuant to Proposition 47.
