People v. Jones CA4/2
Opinion
Opinion
INTRODUCTION
Defendant and appellant Leroy Napolean Jones appeals the trial court’s finding
that he was ineligible for resentencing under Penal Code section 1172.75. Counsel filed a
brief raising no arguable issues under People v. Delgadillo (2022) 14 Cal.5th 216
(Delgadillo).
On May 23, 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.)
DISPOSITION
The appeal is dismissed.
