What is the effect of an independent review of the record on a motion of appeal?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Beaver, A146863 (Cal. App. 2016):

After defendant appealed, counsel was appointed to represent him. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, setting forth a statement of the case and a summary of the facts, and requesting this court conduct an independent review of the record. Counsel has notified defendant he can file a supplemental brief with the court. No supplemental brief has been received from defendant.

Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have independently reviewed the record for potential error and find no arguable error that would result in a disposition favorable to defendant.
