                   Plaintiff and Respondent,                                        (Super. Ct. No. 99F06174)

         v.

CHERYL JEAN VAUGHN,

                   Defendant and Appellant.

         Defendant Cheryl Jean Vaughn appeals the trial court’s denial of her petition for
resentencing under Penal Code section 1172.6. Appointed counsel filed a brief raising no
arguable issues under People v. Delgadillo (2022) 14 Cal.5th 216 or People v. Wende
(1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and asking us to exercise our discretion to review the entire record
for arguable issues on appeal. We shall dismiss the appeal as abandoned.

                                                               1
                                      DISCUSSION
       On April 14, 2023, we notified defendant: (1) counsel filed a brief indicating no
arguable issues had been identified by counsel; (2) as a case arising from an order
denying postconviction relief, defendant was not entitled to counsel or to an independent
review of the record; and (3) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Delgadillo,
defendant had 30 days in which to file a supplemental brief or letter raising any argument
she wanted this court to consider. We also notified defendant if we did not receive a
letter or brief within that 30-day period, the court may dismiss the appeal as abandoned.
More than 30 days have elapsed, and we have received no communication from
defendant.
       We consider defendant’s appeal abandoned and order the appeal dismissed.
(People v. Delgadillo, supra, 14 Cal.5th at p. 232.)
                                      DISPOSITION
       The appeal is dismissed.
