Plaintiff and Respondent, Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. MA075841 v.

RAYMON TONY ROBERTS,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Kathleen Blanchard, Judge. Affirmed. Glenn L. Savard, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

INTRODUCTION AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

The Los Angeles County District Attorney filed an information charging defendant and appellant Raymon Tony Roberts with second degree robbery (Pen. Code, § 211; count one)1 and misdemeanor resisting, delaying, or obstructing a public officer, peace officer, or emergency medical technician (§ 148, subd. (a)(1); count two). The information further alleged Roberts sustained a prior strike conviction (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)), a prior serious felony conviction (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)), and three prior prison term convictions (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). A jury convicted Roberts of both counts, and Roberts admitted he sustained the prior strike conviction and the prior serious felony conviction. The trial court sentenced him to 11 years in state prison, consisting of a three-year middle term on count one, doubled to six years for the prior strike conviction, plus five years for the prior serious felony conviction.2 Roberts filed a timely notice of appeal, and we appointed counsel to represent him. On June 1, 2020, appellate counsel filed a brief raising no issues and asking us to review the record independently. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) Roberts did not respond to our letter advising him of his right to file supplemental briefing. Following review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende, we affirm.
