California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from In re D.S., E045993 (Cal. App. 1/30/2009), E045993. (Cal. App. 2009):

At her request, this court appointed counsel to represent the minor on appeal. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 [87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493], setting forth a statement of the case, a summary of the facts, and potential arguable issues, and requesting that we undertake an independent review of the entire record. We offered the minor an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, but she has not done so.
