What is the legal authority for a personal brief on appeal?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Ratcliff, E062737 (Cal. App. 2015):

This court appointed counsel to represent defendant 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, setting forth a statement of the case and identifying one potential arguable issue: whether the court abused its discretion in determining that defendant was ineligible for resentencing under section 1170.126.

Defendant was offered an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, which he has not done.

Under People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have conducted an independent review of the record and find no arguable issues.
