How has the court dealt with a motion of appeal in a personal injury case?

Defendant appealed the judgment, and we appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel did not argue against defendant, but advised the court he found no issues to argue on defendant's behalf. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was given 30 days to file written argument on his own behalf, but he did not do so.
