I.

INTRODUCTION

Defendant and appellant Carl Lee Williams appeals the trial court’s postjudgment

victim restitution order. Appointed counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People

v. Delgadillo (2022) 14 Cal.5th 216 (Delgadillo), requesting this court to conduct an

independent review of the record. In addition, defendant has had an opportunity to file a

supplemental brief with this court and has not done so. Because defendant’s counsel

filed a brief raising no issues and defendant was notified that failure to timely file a

supplemental brief may result in the dismissal of the appeal as abandoned and was given

an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief but failed to do so, we dismiss the

appeal as abandoned. (Id. at pp. 231-232.)
