IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION THREE

THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. A175767 ROYCE LAMONT COLVIN, Defendant and Appellant. (City and County of San Francisco Super. Ct. No. CRI17013308)

MEMORANDUM OPINION After Royce Lamont Colvin’s prior appeal, this court remanded the matter for resentencing.1 He now appeals from the resulting sentence. His counsel filed a brief raising no issues and asking this court to review the record to determine whether there are arguable issues for appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) After our review, we find none and affirm. A jury convicted Colvin of first degree murder and robbery. (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 211; undesignated statutory references are to this code.) It 1 We resolve this case by memorandum opinion, including only necessary facts. (Cal. Stds. Jud. Admin., § 8.1; People v. Garcia (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 847, 851.) We grant Colvin’s request to take judicial notice of the record and our opinion in his prior appeal. (People v. Colvin (June 27, 2025, A170015) [nonpub. opn.]; Evid. Code, § 452, subd. (d).) 1 found true allegations that he personally and intentionally discharged a firearm proximately causing death and used a firearm. (§§ 12022.53, subd. (d), 12022.5, subd. (a).) The trial court sentenced him to 25 years to life for the murder plus a consecutive term of 25 years to life for the section 12022.53 finding. It also sentenced him to three years for the robbery and an additional prison term for the section 12022.5 finding, but it stayed both sentences. Colvin appealed, arguing that the trial court was unaware of its discretion to impose a 10- or 20-year term rather than 25 years to life under section 12022.53. We concluded the record was ambiguous and remanded for resentencing. We also noted that the abstract of judgment erroneously indicated that the court sentenced him to 10 years rather than 3 years for the robbery and directed the court to correct the error. On remand, the court clarified that it was aware of its discretion and decided to impose the higher term at the original hearing; it then imposed the same sentence. It also amended the abstract of judgment to reflect a three-year robbery sentence. Colvin again appeals. His counsel filed a brief pursuant to Wende. Colvin was notified of his right to file a supplemental brief, but he has not done so. We have independently reviewed the record regarding the resentencing after remand to determine whether any arguable factual or legal issues exist. We have found none. DISPOSITION The judgment is affirmed.
