TANGEMAN, J.
Jaswinder Singh appeals from the judgment after the trial court denied his motion to dismiss pursuant to Penal Code section 1382.
Further unspecified statutory references are to the Penal Code.
In December 2019, Singh was arrested and charged with committing a lewd and lascivious act upon a child under the age of 14 years (§ 288, subd. (a)). Singh was released on bail, but was subsequently detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
In April, Singh filed a demand to be brought to trial or sentenced within 90 days, or to have his charge dismissed (§§ 1381, 1381.5). In July, Singh moved to dismiss for failure to bring the case to trial within 90 days (§ 1382). The trial court denied his motion, determining his ICE detention did not qualify as imprisonment or commitment pursuant to section 1381.
We appointed counsel to represent Singh in this appeal. After counsel's examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues. On April 7, 2021, we advised Singh that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that he wished to raise on appeal. We have not received a response.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that counsel has fully complied with their responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The judgment is affirmed.
We concur: YEGAN, Acting P. J., PERREN, J.
