SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION FOUR

THE PEOPLE, B318180

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. A039369) v.

JAMARA DELVIN TERRELL,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Laura L. Laesecke, Judge. Dismissed. Robert D. Bacon, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

INTRODUCTION Appellant Jamara Delvin Terrell appealed following the superior court’s denial of his resentencing petition under Penal Code former section 1170.95 (now § 1172.6).1 Appellant’s counsel filed a brief on appeal raising no issues and invoking People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). Because neither appellant nor his counsel raised a cognizable claim of error, we dismiss the appeal as abandoned. (People v. Serrano (2012) 211 Cal.App.4th 496 (Serrano).) FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND The following facts about the initial offenses are from our nonpublished opinion affirming appellant’s conviction, People v.

Vinson also saw the victim[,] Homer Webster[,] in the area. Vinson heard appellant or the other man say, ‘Let’s get the gold chain.’ Appellant appeared to check to see if his handgun was loaded.

Appellant and the other man took separate routes around the building. “Hope Black was walking to her cousin’s home when, from a distance of about nine feet, she saw appellant, whom she knew as ‘Green Eyes,’ standing with another man.
