IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION SIX

THE PEOPLE, 2d Crim. No. B337165 (Super. Ct. No. 2023018659) Plaintiff and Respondent, (Ventura County)

v.

JOSHUA A. GODWIN,

Defendant and Appellant.

Joshua A. Godwin appeals from a judgment following a guilty plea to receiving stolen property (Pen. Code, § 496, subd. (a).) Law enforcement found appellant with a stolen e-bike. Pursuant to the parties’ negotiated disposition, the court sentenced appellant to 16 months in jail. We appointed counsel to represent appellant. Counsel examined the record and filed an opening brief requesting the court review this case independently under People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). On October 23, 2024, we sent a letter to the address on file for appellant advising he had 30 days to submit any grounds for appeal, contentions, or arguments he wished us to consider. We have received no such submission from appellant. Our letter to him was returned to sender. His counsel has declared: “I have not had any contact with appellant, inasmuch as mail sent by me to the address we and the court have for him, was returned as undeliverable.” We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that appellant’s counsel has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 443.) The judgment is affirmed.
