California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Prasad, E064377 (Cal. App. 2016):
Defendant appealed and, upon his request, this court appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, setting forth a statement of the case and a few potential arguable issues: (1) whether defendant's conviction of criminal threats (Pen. Code, 422) qualifies for resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.18, subdivision (a), or reclassification under Penal Code section 1170.18, subdivision (f); (2) whether the court considering defendant's Proposition 47 petition was required and authorized to sua sponte consider whether to reduce his other conviction under Penal Code section 666 to a misdemeanor; (3) while this appeal is pending, whether this court has jurisdiction and authority to designate a qualifying current conviction for violating Penal Code section 666 as a misdemeanor; (4) while this appeal is pending, whether this court has jurisdiction and authority to designate prior convictions for violating Vehicle Code section 10851 as misdemeanors; and (5) if this court lacks jurisdiction and authority to consider whether the convictions under Penal Code section 666 and Vehicle Code section 10851 should be resentenced and/or reclassified as misdemeanors, should the current matter on the conviction for making criminal threats (Pen. Code, 422) be remanded with directions to allow defendant to pursue a properly filed petition. Counsel has also requested this court to undertake a review of the entire record.
We offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, which he has not done.

Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have conducted an independent review of the record and find no arguable issues.
The judgment is affirmed.
