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

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Waltz, B290613 (Cal. App. 2018):

Appellant appealed the judgment. His appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) requesting that we independently review the record on appeal for arguable issues. On September 17, 2018, we sent a letter notifying appellant of his counsel's brief and gave him leave to file his own brief or letter within 30 days to state any grounds or argument he might wish to have considered. Appellant did not file a supplemental brief or letter. Upon review of the record, we conclude that there are no arguable issues, and appellant is not entitled to appellate relief.
