Can a defendant argue on his own behalf at an appeal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Labudis, G058850 (Cal. App. 2021):
Defendant timely filed a notice of appeal and we appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel did not argue against defendant but advised the court he was unable to find an issue to argue on defendant's behalf. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was given the opportunity to file written argument on his own behalf, but he has not done so.
