v.

LUIS PALACIO,

     Defendant and Appellant.

       Luis Palacio pled guilty to two counts of first degree
murder (Pen. Code,1 §§ 187, subd. (a), 189) and admitted as to
one count that he personally used a firearm within the meaning
of sections 1203.06, subdivision (a)(1) and 12022.5. The trial

probable consequences theory. The trial court denied the petition
on the ground that Palacio shot and killed both victims.
      We appointed counsel to represent Palacio in this appeal.
After examination of the record, counsel filed a brief raising no
issues.
      On July 6, 2020, we advised Palacio by mail that he had 30
days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues
that he wished to raise on appeal. We received no reply.
      We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that
Palacio’s attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and
that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d
436, 441.)
      The order is affirmed.
