People v. Hicks CA2/1

DISCUSSION

Defendant’s counsel filed a brief pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436, stating that counsel reviewed the entire record on appeal and found no arguable issues to raise on appeal. Counsel requested we independently review the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues. Counsel provided defendant with a copy of the Wende brief and the transcripts of the record on appeal, and informed him of his right to file a supplemental brief. On June 17, 2024, this court also informed defendant that he may, within 30 days, “submit a supplemental brief or letter stating any grounds for an appeal, or contentions, or arguments which [he] wishes this court to consider.” Defendant did not file a supplemental brief. We are satisfied that Hicks’s counsel has fully complied with his responsibilities. (Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 119 (Kelly).) We have reviewed the record and find no arguable issues on appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment.
