People v. Partee 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, and in compliance with Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, counsel has identified two possible issues which were considered in evaluating the potential merits of this appeal. 1. Whether there is substantial evidence to support the trial court’s finding that Partee was the actual shooter in this case. 2. Whether the trial court applied the correct burden of proof. We have independently reviewed the record as required by Wende and Anders. We have not discovered any arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Competent counsel has represented Partee on this appeal.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.
