California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Ruiz, E074964 (Cal. App. 2020):
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, a statement of the facts, and identifying two potentially arguable issues: whether the court erred in denying defendant's pretrial motion to dismiss and whether trial counsel provided constitutionally ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to object to the victim's displays of emotion and claims of mental trauma.
