INTRODUCTION

Defendant Tracy L. Collier appeals the trial court’s denial of his “Motion for

Modification of Sentence and to Vacate Judgment of Court-Imposed Costs” under Penal

Code section 1465.9. Counsel filed a brief raising no arguable issues under People v.

Delgadillo (2022) 14 Cal.5th 216 (Delgadillo). On February 3, 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. (Delgadillo, supra, 14 Cal.5th at p. 232.)

DISPOSITION

The appeal is dismissed.
