On November 30, 2015, defendant's appointed counsel filed an opening brief in which he asked this court to conduct an independent review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, to determine whether there are any arguable issues that require briefing. Defendant was advised of his right to file a supplemental brief of his own, but he did not do so.
