IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION SIX
THE PEOPLE, 2d Crim. No. B307766
(Super. Ct. No. F493872)
Plaintiff and Respondent, (San Luis Obispo County)
v.
RONALD JOHN COWAN,
Defendant and Appellant.
Ronald John Cowan pled no contest to one count of lewd
acts with a child under age 14. (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a).) The
court sentenced him to a total term of eight years and imposed
various fines and fees. Cowan appeals his sentence.
We appointed counsel to represent Cowan in this appeal.
After examining the record, he filed a brief raising no issues.
On January 26, 2021, we advised Cowan 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
Cowan’s attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and
that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d
436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED.
