Can a defendant appeal against his conviction for a residential burglary?

Defendant asked the trial court to strike the prior strike under People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497. In the burglary, defendant and others entered the backyard of a residence, broke the sliding glass door, and removed various items from the house. Nothing indicated the victim was present during the burglary. Defendant was convicted of first degree residential burglary ( 459) and was sentenced to 300 days in county jail and five years of formal probation, which he successfully completed. He was 20 years old at the time of this offense.
