DISCUSSION

We appointed counsel to represent Cumplido on appeal. After examining the record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues. On July 7, 2014 we advised Cumplido that he had 30 days to submit any contentions or issues he wished us to consider. We have not received a response.2 We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that Cumplido’s attorney on appeal has fully complied with the responsibilities of counsel and that there are no arguable issues. (See Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 277-284 [120 S.Ct. 746, 145 L.Ed.2d 756]; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 118-119; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)

On July 16, 2014 we learned from appellate counsel that Cumplido had been granted early release from custody and that the transcripts he had forwarded to Cumplido had been returned as undeliverable. On July 25, 2014 we received our July 7, 2014 letter returned and marked unable to forward. Our second attempt to notify Cumplido on September 5, 2014 was similarly unsuccessful.
