 JARVIN O'NEAL NASH,                                                      OPINION

           Defendant and Appellant.

         APPEAL from the Superior Court of San Bernardino County. Alexander R.

Martinez, Judge. Dismissed.

         Jarvin O’Neal Nash, in pro. per.; Marilee Marshall, under appointment by the

Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

         No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

                                                              1
           Defendant and appellant Jarvin O’Neal Nash appeals from the San Bernardino

Superior Court’s denial of his petition for resentencing made pursuant to section 1172.6

of the Penal Code.1

           In 2004, a jury convicted defendant of attempted first degree burglary of an

inhabited dwelling. (§§ 664, 459.) In a separate proceeding, the trial court found true the

allegations defendant had suffered two prior burglary convictions that were strikes

coming within sections 1170.12, subdivisions (a) through (d), and 667, subdivisions (b)

through (i). In 2005, the court sentenced defendant to state prison for a term of 25 years

to life.

           In July 2022, defendant petitioned the trial court for resentencing pursuant to

section 1172.6. The court issued a memorandum of decision denying the petition on the

grounds that defendant is not eligible for relief because section 1172.6 applies only to

persons convicted of murder, attempted murder, or manslaughter. Defendant timely

noticed this appeal.

           Defendant’s appointed appellate counsel filed a no-issues brief pursuant to People

v. Delgadillo (2022) 14 Cal.5th 216. We invited defendant to file a personal

supplemental brief and cautioned him that failure to file a supplemental brief would result

in dismissal of his appeal. He responded by filing a lengthy document with a cover sheet

bearing the title, “Supplemental brief in the form of a habeas corpus to determine a

           1
          Section 1170.95 was renumbered as section 1172.6 without change in the text,
effective June 30, 2022 (Stats. 2022, ch. 58, § 10). For the sake of simplicity, we refer to
the provision by its new numbering. All further statutory references are to the Penal
Code.

                                                 2
specific argument presented in People v. Chiu 59 Cal.4th 155 (2014) and Rosemond v.

United States 134 S.Ct. 1240 (2014) a defendant has been punished for unintended

consequences of the unforeseen actions of others; request for evidentiary hearing.” The

body of the document consists of a Judicial Council Forms, form HC-001, petition for

writ of habeas corpus, with attachments.

      As defendant recognizes in his submission, an appeal is not the proper procedural

vehicle to mount a collateral attack on the judgment entered in 2005 and to seek an order

to show cause. Although defendant may file his petition for habeas corpus in a separate

proceeding, we dismiss his appeal as abandoned for failure to file a supplemental brief.

                                     DISPOSITION

      The appeal is dismissed.
