People v. Reed 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 the trial court (1) erroneously denied his
request for a certificate of probable cause, (2) erroneously denied his motion to
2 withdraw his guilty plea, (3) failed to ensure the existence of a factual basis for his
guilty plea and admission, (4) lawfully sentenced him, and (5) whether issues 1-4 are
cognizable without a certificate of probable cause. We granted Reed permission to file
a brief on his own behalf. He 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.
