People v. Mauricio CA4/1

DISCUSSION

As we have noted, appellate counsel has filed a Wende brief and asks the court to independently review the record for error. To assist the court in its review of the record, and in compliance with Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), counsel has identified possible issues that were considered in evaluating the potential merits of this appeal: (1) Whether the court properly allowed an expert to testify at trial about the common myths and misconceptions surrounding child sexual abuse; (2) Whether the court properly instructed the jury on the complaining witness; and (3) Whether the evidence supported the conviction of lewd act on a child for the use of a sex toy based on the theory of imputed or constructive touching. We have reviewed the record for error as required by Wende and Anders. We have not discovered any arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Competent counsel has represented Mauricio on this appeal.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.
