IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION SIX

THE PEOPLE, 2d Crim. No. B307766 (Super. Ct. No. F493872) Plaintiff and Respondent, (San Luis Obispo County)

v.

RONALD JOHN COWAN,

Defendant and Appellant.

Ronald John Cowan pled no contest to one count of lewd acts with a child under age 14. (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a).) The court sentenced him to a total term of eight years and imposed various fines and fees. Cowan appeals his sentence. We appointed counsel to represent Cowan in this appeal. After examining the record, he filed a brief raising no issues. On January 26, 2021, we advised Cowan by mail that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that he wished to raise on appeal. We received no reply. We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Cowan’s attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.) The judgment is affirmed. NOT TO BE PUBLISHED.
