People v. Lincoln CA2/7

DISCUSSION

We appointed counsel to represent Lincoln on appeal. After an examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised. On March 17, 2016, we attempted to advise Lincoln by mail that he had 30 days in which to personally submit any contentions or issues he wished us to consider. On March 28, 2016, the notice was returned marked “Return To Sender. Attempted – Not Known. Unable To Forward.”1 We have examined the record and are satisfied Lincoln’s appellate attorney has fully complied with the responsibilities of counsel and no arguable issue exists. (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, 112-113; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)

When appellate counsel was appointed, Lincoln was directed “to keep the court informed of his/her mailing address at all times. If you move, you MUST notify the clerk of this court immediately; otherwise you may not receive important notices concerning your appeal.” Lincoln failed to provide any updated information concerning his address. 3
