IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT (San Joaquin) ----

THE PEOPLE, C081303

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. STKCRFE20128636) v.

ABDIEL LARIOS,

Defendant and Appellant.

Appointed counsel for defendant Abdiel Larios filed an opening brief that raises no issues and that requests this court to review the record independently to determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Since we conclude the order appealed from is not appealable, we must dismiss the appeal. (People v. Mendez (2012) 209 Cal.App.4th 32, 34; People v. Turrin (2009) 176 Cal.App.4th 1200, 1208.)

On September 26, 2012, defendant pleaded guilty to corporal injury to a child (Pen. Code, § 273d, subd. (a); unless otherwise set forth, statutory references that follow are to the Penal Code) and admitted to personally inflicting great bodily injury on the child (§ 12022.7, subd. (d)). He was sentenced to a six-year state prison term that same day.

Defendant filed a motion to modify his sentence on January 8, 2016. The trial court summarily denied the motion.

An order made after judgment affecting a defendant’s substantial rights is appealable. (§ 1237, subd. (b).) However, once judgment is rendered, except for limited statutory exceptions (§§ 1170.126, 1170.18), the sentencing court is without jurisdiction to vacate or modify the sentence except pursuant to the provisions of section 1170, subdivision (d). (See Portillo v. Superior Court (1992) 10 Cal.App.4th 1829, 1834- 1835.) Section 1170, subdivision (d) allows a sentencing court on its own motion to recall and resentence, subject to the express limitation that the court must act to recall the sentence within 120 days after committing the defendant to prison. (See Dix v. Superior Court (1991) 53 Cal.3d 442, 464.) Indeed, “the court loses ‘own-motion’ jurisdiction if it fails to recall a sentence within 120 days of the original commitment.
