IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION TWO
THE PEOPLE, B241993
Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. NA077229) v.
ANDREW LEE YOUNG,
Defendant and Appellant.
THE COURT:* Defendant and appellant Andrew Lee Young (defendant) appeals his judgment entered on remand June 11, 2012, after we reversed his prior sentence in a nonpublished opinion. (People v. Young (Jan. 10, 2012, B227428).) Defendant’s appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), raising no issues. On January 23, 2013, we notified defendant of his counsel’s brief and gave him leave to file, within 30 days, his own brief or letter stating any grounds or argument he might wish to have considered, and granted additional time to April 1, 2013. That date has passed and defendant has submitted no letter or brief. We have reviewed the entire record and find that the trial court neglected to comply with our directions on remand in

just one respect: correcting the fees previously imposed at sentencing. We thus modify the judgment, but finding no other error or other arguable issues, we otherwise affirm. In 2008, defendant negotiated a plea agreement with the assistance of counsel, pled no contest to six counts, admitted two prior convictions for purposes of sentencing under the “Three Strikes” law (§§ 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d); 667, subds. (b)-(i)), and was sentenced to a six-year prison term, comprised of the upper term of three years on count 1, doubled as a second strike, plus concurrent terms as to each of the remaining counts. The court struck one of the prior strikes, suspended execution of sentence, and placed defendant on three years of formal probation. In 2010, while on probation, defendant was charged with a new offense in case No. NA084896 (the new case), along with a special allegation of two prior strikes. Trial on the new case and the probation violation hearing were assigned together to a different judge. Defendant represented himself in the probation violation hearing, after which the trial court found him to be in violation. The trial court stated that the concurrent terms originally imposed in this case were unauthorized, and informed defendant that if convicted on the new charge, he could face an increased term. Believing such a result would violate the terms of his plea agreement, defendant asked to withdraw his plea. When the court refused to consider the request, defendant asked for representation by counsel, but the trial court refused that request as well. After defendant was convicted in the new case, the trial court then resentenced defendant to an aggregate term on both cases of 10 years by imposing a four-year sentence in this case and making it subordinate to the six-year term imposed in the new case. The four-year term was comprised of eight months (one-third the middle term) for each of the six counts, doubled to 16 months, to run consecutively to the principal term. The court stayed the terms imposed on three of the counts. Defendant again appealed and we reversed the four-year sentence, directing the trial court to afford defendant counsel at resentencing and to correct its unauthorized imposition of fees by reducing the court security fee from $30 to $20 and by eliminating the $30 court facilities assessment. Counsel was appointed on remand and he filed a motion to withdraw defendant’s plea. The trial court denied the motion and again sentenced defendant to consecutive
