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

THE PEOPLE, C094486

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. 20CF06063)

v.

RICHELLE ANGELICA ZUNIGA,

Defendant and Appellant.

Appointed counsel for defendant Richelle Angelica Zuniga has asked this court to conduct an independent review of the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Finding no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant, we affirm the judgment. FACTS AND HISTORY OF THE PROCEEDINGS 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, 123-124.) The description of the facts is based on the probation report to which the parties stipulated as the basis for the plea.

Officers responded to a report of two suspicious motorcycles. While en route, the officers learned that Mark Hansen reported two motorcycles belonging to him—a KTM 520 EXE and a Honda CRS—had been stolen from his parents’ nearby property. According to Hansen, his parents’ home had been destroyed in the Bear Fire but a detached garage remained standing. Two days prior, his parents discovered that the garage had been burglarized and the motorcycles were missing. When deputies arrived at the location to which they were dispatched, they found Hansen’s KTM motorcycle lying on its side. The Honda was not located at that time. Officers subsequently executed a search warrant on a motor home and shed belonging to defendant and codefendant Jeremiah Vail. Hansen’s Honda motorcycle was recovered during the search. Officers also found a Smith & Wesson .38-caliber revolver, an RG IND .38-caliber revolver, and other items missing from community members after the fire, including a trail camera, guitar, and burned silver coins. The prosecutor filed a felony complaint charging defendant with residential burglary (Pen. Code, § 459—count 1);1 felon in possession of a firearm (§ 29800, subd. (a)(1)—count 2); unlawful possession of ammunition (§ 30305, subd. (a)(1)—count 3); two counts of receiving stolen property exceeding $950 in value (§ 496, subd. (a)— counts 4 & 5); and receiving a stolen vehicle (§ 496d, subd. (a); count six), all felonies. Defendant also was charged with possession of burglary tools (§ 466—count 7); petty theft (§§ 484, subd. (a), 488, 490.2, subd. (a)—count 8); and receiving stolen property (§ 496, subd. (a)—count 9), all misdemeanors. On January 28, 2021, defendant entered pleas of no contest to the charges of felon in possession of a firearm (count 2); receiving stolen property (count 4); and receiving a stolen vehicle (count 6). She also admitted that she suffered a prior felony. The balance
