THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. HORACESSA ROBINSON, Defendant and Appellant.
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE OFFICIAL REPORTS
The evidence at the preliminary hearing established that on June 27, 2008, at approximately 3:45 p.m., Eun Na and Grace Na were behind the display case of their jewelry store on East Compton Boulevard in the County of Los Angeles, when appellant and several companions entered the store. The male in the group shattered the glass display case with a hammer and appellant and her companions grabbed gold chains and other items from the display case and exited the store. Approximately $39,000 in merchandise was taken in the robbery. The victims reported to the police investigating the robbery that they had been close to the display case when the man shattered the glass and feared they were going to be attacked.
After review of the record, appellant's court-appointed counsel filed an opening brief requesting this court to independently review the record pursuant to the holding of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.
On October 28, 2009, we advised appellant that she had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues which she wished us to consider. No response has been received to date.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that no arguable issues exist, and that appellant has, by virtue of counsel's compliance with the Wende procedure and our review of the record, received adequate and effective appellate review of the judgment entered against her in this case. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 278; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 112-113.)
DISPOSITION
The judgment is affirmed.
