1 I.

INTRODUCTION

Defendant and appellant Ronny Joe Mitchell, Jr. appeals the trial court’s postjudgment order denying his petition for resentencing of his 2018 second degree murder conviction (Pen. Code, § 187) under Penal Code section 1172.6 (formerly Penal Code section 1170.95). Appointed counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Delgadillo (2022) 14 Cal.5th 216 (Delgadillo), requesting this court to conduct an independent review of the record.

In addition, defendant has had an opportunity to file a supplemental brief with this court. On June 23, 2025, 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; and (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. We also notified defendant that 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.
