People v. Chaira CA4/2

INTRODUCTION

Defendant Manuel Chaira, Jr. appeals the trial court’s denial of his petition for

resentencing under Penal Code section 1172.6. Counsel filed a brief raising no arguable

issues under People v. Delgadillo (2022) 14 Cal.5th 216 (Delgadillo).

On May 9, 2024, 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. (Delgadillo,

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

The appeal is dismissed.
