California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. James, E060591 (Cal. App. 2014):

Counsel was appointed to represent defendant on this 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 brief statement of the case. Counsel has asked this court to undertake an independent review of the entire record.
Defendant has been offered an opportunity to file a personal supplemental letter brief, which he has not done. Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have conducted an independent review of the record, and find no arguable issues.
