COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION ONE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THE PEOPLE, D079851
Plaintiff and Respondent,
v. (Super. Ct. No. SCS215653)
DARRYL DUNSMORE,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Garry G. Haehnle, Judge. Affirmed. Darryl Dunsmore, in pro. per.; and Dawn S. Mortazavi, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent. In 2010, Darry Dunsmore was convicted of attempted voluntary
manslaughter while personally inflicting great bodily injury (Pen. Code,1 §§ 192, subd. (a), 664, and 12022.7, subd. (a)), assault with a deadly weapon while inflicting great bodily injury (§§ 245, subd. (a)(1) and 12022.7,

subd. (a)), and a second count of assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)). The court found true a serious felony prior conviction (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)), a prison prior (§ 667.5, subd. (b)), and a strike prior (§ 667, subds. (b)-(i)). Dunsmore was ultimately sentenced to a determinate term of 21 years in prison. Dunsmore appealed and this court affirmed the conviction in an unpublished opinion. (People v. Dunsmore (Dec. 21, 2011, D057645).) In 2021, Dunsmore filed a petition for resentencing under section 1170.95. The trial court denied the petition, finding attempted voluntary manslaughter was not an offense covered by section 1170.95, as amended by Senate Bill No. 775. Dunsmore filed a timely notice of appeal. Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), indicating counsel has not been able to identify any arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Counsel asks the court to review the record for error as mandated by Wende. We offered Dunsmore the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal and he has responded with a supplemental letter brief. We will discuss his submission below. STATEMENT OF FACTS The facts of the offenses are set forth in our previous opinion, (People v. Dunsmore, supra, D057645). We will not repeat them here, except to note the record shows Dunsmore was the sole perpetrator of the criminal acts. DISCUSSION As we have noted, appellate counsel has filed a Wende brief and asks the court to review the record for error. To assist the court in its review, and in compliance with Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), counsel
