IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION SIX

THE PEOPLE, 2d Crim. No. B263323 (Super. Ct. No. 2013028454) Plaintiff and Respondent, (Ventura County) v. COLLIN RONALD POWELL, Defendant and Appellant.

Collin Ronald Powell appeals from the judgment entered after pleading guilty to two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated (Pen. Code, § 191.5, subd. (a))1 and one count of driving with a .08 percent or higher blood alcohol level causing injuries to multiple victims, while driving with a blood alcohol content exceeding 0.15 percent. (Veh. Code, §§ 23153, subds. (a)-(b); 23558; 23578). The trial court sentenced appellant to eight years state prison and ordered appellant to pay victim restitution (§ 1202.4, subd. (f)), a $5,000 restitution fine (§ 1202.4, subd. (b)), a $5,000 parole revocation fine (§ 1202.45), a $2,377 fine (Veh. Code, § 23152, subd. (a), a $90 court security fee (§ 1465.8), a $443.34 criminal justice fee, and a $120 criminal conviction assessment (Gov.

Code, § 70373).

1 Unless otherwise stated, all statutory references are to the Penal Code. We appointed counsel to represent appellant in this appeal. After counsel’s examination of the record, he filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised.

On September 1, 2015, we advised appellant that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues he wished us to consider. No response has been received. The record reflects that appellant was driving while intoxicated when his vehicle left the roadway and hit two utility trailers and a large construction backhoe. Two passengers in the vehicle died and a third passenger suffered major injuries.

We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that appellant's attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 443; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 126.)

The judgment is affirmed.

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED.
