People v. Wooten CA4/2

I.

INTRODUCTION

Defendant and appellant Isaiah I. Wooten appeals the trial court’s postjudgment

order denying his petition for resentencing of his first degree attempted murder

1 1 conviction (Pen. Code, §§ 664/187, subd. (a)) under section 1172.6 (formerly

§ 1170.95). 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 the defendant was notified by this court and his counsel

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 may dismiss the appeal as abandoned. (Id. at pp. 231-232.) However,

having exercised our discretion to conduct an independent review of the record, we

affirm the judgment. (Ibid.)
