P. v. Brown CA4/1
Opinion
Opinion
Mcintyre, J.
DISCUSSION
Appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief summarizing the facts and
proceedings below. She presented no argument for reversal, but asked this court to
review the record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436
(Wende). Under Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), she listed as
possible but not arguable issues, whether (1) Brown was properly advised of her
constitutional rights and whether she waived them before pleading guilty, (2) the
court abused its discretion when it denied Brown's motion to withdraw her plea,
(3) the guilty plea is invalid due to ineffective assistance of counsel, (4) the court
improperly denied Brown's request to represent herself at sentencing, and (5) the
court erred in making Brown's appointed counsel remain attorney of record at
sentencing. We granted Brown permission to file a brief on her own behalf. She
has not responded.
Our review of the record pursuant to Wende, including the possible issues
listed by counsel pursuant to Anders, has disclosed no reasonably arguable issues on
appeal. Competent counsel has represented Brown on this appeal.
