THE PEOPLE, B315682

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. TA153124) v.

KYLAN YOUNG,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, John J. Lonergan, Jr., Judge. Affirmed. Shay Dinata-Hanson, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent. _______________

Kylan Young appeals from the judgment entered following his plea of no contest to two counts of first degree robbery. No arguable issues have been identified following review of the record by Young’s appointed appellate counsel or our own independent review. We affirm. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Young and a codefendant were charged in a felony complaint filed November 18, 2020 with two counts of first degree automated teller machine robbery (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 212.5, subd. (b)) and two counts of second degree robbery (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 212.5, subd. (c)). Each of the four robberies occurred on October 8, 2020, and each involved a different victim at a separate location. In July 2021, prior to his preliminary hearing, Young moved for mental health diversion pursuant to Penal Code section 1001.36. The motion was supported by a report from a psychologist who stated Young had been diagnosed with complex posttraumatic stress disorder and cannabis and alcohol use disorders and opined there was a nexus between the diagnoses and the crimes with which Young had been charged. At a hearing on August 2, 2021 the trial court stated it needed additional information to properly consider the request and tentatively denied the motion. On September 13, 2021, the date set for the preliminary hearing, Young pleaded no contest to two counts of first degree robbery pursuant to a negotiated agreement. As recommended by the People as part of the agreement, and after hearing testimony from two of the victims of the robberies, the court suspended imposition of sentence and ordered Young to serve
