How have we dealt with an appeal from a finding that there are no arguable issues to assert on defendant's behalf?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Castro, G051273 (Cal. App. 2015):

Defendant appealed from this ruling and we appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel filed a brief summarizing the proceedings and facts of the case and advised the court he found no arguable issues to assert on defendant's behalf. (Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 [87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493]; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Although we notified defendant he could file written argument on his own behalf, the time to do so has passed and no communication has been received from him.
