People v. Ballard CA4/1

DISCUSSION

Appellate counsel indicates she is unable to identify any reasonably arguable

issues for appeal and has asked this court to review the record for error. (Wende, supra,

25 Cal.3d 436.) Pursuant to Anders, supra, 386 U.S. 738, counsel has identified the

following issues in order to assist the court in its search for error:

(1) Did the court abuse its discretion by denying Ballard the certificate of

probable cause?

(2) Did the court abuse its discretion by denying Ballard probation?

(3) Did the court's decision not to hear Ballard's Marsden motion prejudicially

deprive him of his rights to effective representation and due process?

We have reviewed the entire record consistent with the mandate of Wende, supra,

25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders, supra, 386 U.S. 738. We have not identified any reasonably

arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Ballard has been represented by competent

counsel on this appeal.
