Is there any case law where a defendant's counsel has filed a brief under the authority of two separate federal civil courts?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Velasquez, E074338 (Cal. App. 2020):

Defendant's 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 facts. Counsel does not suggest a potentially arguable issue. He requests this court to undertake a review of the entire record.

We offered defendant an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, which he has not done.

Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have conducted an independent review of the record and find no arguable issues.

The judgment is affirmed.
