People v. Hart CA2/5

DISCUSSION

Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal, and we appointed counsel to represent her on appeal. Appellant’s counsel filed an opening brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, and requested this court to independently review the record on appeal to determine whether any arguable issues exist. On September 2, 2014, counsel filed a declaration, dated August 25, 2014, in which she stated that appellant had been released from custody on July 4, 2014. Counsel had tried to contact appellant by all possible means but had been unsuccessful. Accordingly, we have not attempted to send appellant a letter advising her that she had 30 days in which to personally submit any contentions or issues which she wished us to consider. The time for such a submission has now expired. We have examined the entire record and are satisfied appellant’s attorney has fully complied with her responsibilities and no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at p. 441.)

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.
