People v. Williamson CA4/2

I.

INTRODUCTION

Defendant and appellant Alvin Williamson, Jr. appeals the trial court’s

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

1 1 conviction (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)) under section 1172.6 (formerly § 1170.95).

Appointed counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Delgadillo (2022)

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 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. (Delgadillo, supra, at pp. 231-232.) However, having

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

judgment. (Ibid.)
