Can a defendant submit a written argument on his own behalf on appeal?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Culp, H043188 (Cal. App. 2017):

Appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief that states the factual and procedural history of the case but raises no issues. We notified defendant of his right to submit written argument on his own behalf within 30 days. That 30-day period has elapsed and we have received no response from defendant. Pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, we have reviewed the entire record and have concluded that there are no arguable issues on appeal.

The judgment is affirmed.
