In a personal injury action brought by a defendant in a civil case, is there any issue to argue on defendant's behalf?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Salinas-Perez, A151757 (Cal. App. 2017):
Counsel has filed a brief setting forth the facts of the case, but advising the court under the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, no issues were found to argue on defendant's behalf. Defendant was notified by his counsel he had 30 days to file a supplemental brief with the court. No supplemental brief has been received.

Pursuant to People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have examined the entire record ourselves to see if any arguable issue is present. We have found none.
