JOSEPH WILLIAM RAMIREZ, OPINION

Dismissed.

Appellant.

No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

1 INTRODUCTION

Defendant Joseph William Ramirez appeals the trial court’s denial of his petition

for resentencing under Penal Code section 1172.6 (formerly § 1170.95).1 Counsel filed a

brief raising no arguable issues under People v. Delgadillo (2022) 14 Cal.5th 216, 231

(Delgadillo).

On August 29, 2023, we notified defendant: (1) counsel filed a brief indicating no

arguable issues had been identified; (2) as a case arising from an order denying

postconviction relief, this court was not required to conduct an independent review of the

record, but we could do so in our discretion; (3) in accordance with the procedures set

forth in Delgadillo, he had 30 days in which to file a supplemental brief raising any

argument he wanted this court to consider; and (4) if we did not receive a brief within

that 30-day period, we may dismiss the appeal as abandoned. More than 30 days have

elapsed, and we have received no communication from defendant.

We consider defendant’s appeal abandoned and order the appeal dismissed.

(Delgadillo, supra, 14 Cal.5th at p. 232.)

1 Penal Code section 1170.95 was renumbered as section 1172.6 without change in the text, effective June 30, 2022 (Stats. 2022, ch. 58, § 10).

2 DISPOSITION

The appeal is dismissed.
