The following excerpt is from People v. Cornelius, E062792 (Cal. App. 2015):
Defendant appealed and, upon his request, this court appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, setting forth a statement of the case and the following potential arguable issues: (1) whether the appellate record indicates that defendant was advised of the consequences of pleading guilty and his constitutional rights, and waived such rights before pleading guilty; (2) whether the appellate record demonstrates ineffective assistance of counsel; (3) whether the court abused its discretion in reappointing the public defender's office; and (4) whether the court erred in awarding only 15 percent conduct credits. Counsel has also requested this court to undertake a review of the entire record.
