How have appellate counsel treated the opening brief in a personal injury case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Delworth, F078614 (Cal. App. 2019):
Delworth's appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief that summarizes the pertinent facts, raises no issues, and requests this court to review the record independently. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) The opening brief also includes the declaration of appellate counsel indicating Delworth was advised he could file his own brief with this court. By letter on June 6, 2019, we invited Delworth to submit additional briefing. To date, he has not done so.
