Opinion

Mcdonald, J.

FACTS

In 2013, the wife of one of the murder victims sent a letter to the prosecutor

seeking a restitution payment of $12,516.25. The prosecution then filed a motion

seeking victim restitution in the amount of $10,000. The court ordered a restitution

fine of $200 under Penal Code section 1202.4, subdivision (b).

DISCUSSION

Appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief summarizing the facts and

proceedings below. Counsel presents no argument for reversal, but asks this court

to review the record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d

436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738. Counsel identifies as a possible,

but not arguable, issue: whether the trial court lacked jurisdiction to impose a

restitution fine.

We granted Cosby permission to file a supplemental brief on his own behalf,

but he has not responded. A review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende,

supra, 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California, supra, 386 U.S. 738 has disclosed

no reasonably arguable appellate issues. Cosby has been competently represented

by counsel on this appeal.
