California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Benedict, C091708 (Cal. App. 2021):
review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was advised by counsel of his right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days from the date the opening brief was filed.
Defendant filed a supplemental brief raising several issues. Most of defendant's challenges relate to events occurring before his plea in 2018, which are both untimely and unappealable without a certificate of probable cause, which he did not obtain. (Cal. Rules of Court, rules 8.304(b), 8.308(a); 1237.5; People v. Panizzon (1996) 13 Cal.4th 68, 74-78.)
