INTRODUCTION

Defendant and appellant Anthony Jacob Lopez appeals the trial court’s

postjudgment order denying his petition for resentencing of his voluntary manslaughter

conviction (Pen. Code,1 § 192, subd. (a)) under section 1172.6. Appointed counsel has

filed a brief under the authority of People v. Delgadillo (2022) 14 Cal.5th 216

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.)
