What is the difference between an opening brief in which no issues are raised and a request to independently review the record under People v. Wende?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Imbronone, H044188 (Cal. App. 2018):
On appeal, defendant's counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues are raised and asked this court to independently review the record under People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. We sent a letter to defendant notifying him of his right to submit a written argument on his own behalf on appeal. Instead, defendant, acting pro se, filed a writ of error coram vobis, which we resolve by separate order.
