* Before Poochigian, Acting P.J., Franson, J. and Peña, J.

Appointed counsel for defendant David Allen Jones 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 November 8, 2010, defendant pled no contest to receiving a stolen vehicle (Pen. Code, § 496d, subd. (a)),1 and the trial court sentenced him to two years in prison on that count. On March 19, 2015, defendant filed a petition for resentencing pursuant to Proposition 47, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act (§ 1170.18), requesting that the trial court reduce his felony conviction to a misdemeanor. On May 11, 2015, the trial court denied the petition because defendant’s conviction did not qualify for resentencing under Proposition 47. On June 2, 2015, defendant filed a notice of appeal. DISCUSSION On November 4, 2014, California voters enacted Proposition 47, and it went into effect the next day. (People v. Rivera (2015) 233 Cal.App.4th 1085, 1089.) “Proposition 47 makes certain drug- and theft-related offenses misdemeanors, unless the offenses were committed by certain ineligible defendants. These offenses had previously been designated as either felonies or wobblers (crimes that can be punished as either felonies or misdemeanors).” (Id. at p. 1091.)
