When will the Court appoint counsel to represent defendant on appeal?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Silvis, No. E049268 (Cal. App. 4/27/2010), No. E049268. (Cal. App. 2010):

At his request, 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 [87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493] setting forth a statement of the case, a summary of the facts, and potential arguable issues, and requesting that we undertake an independent review of the entire record. We offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, but he has not done so. Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have conducted an independent review of the record and we address the issues presented in defendant's request for certificate of probable cause.
