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

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.
