When will the court consider a request to independently review the record?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Burts, B255007 (Cal. App. 2015):

In the opening brief, defendant's appointed counsel requested this court to independently review the record pursuant to the holding of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441. On July 18, 2014, we directed counsel to send the record on appeal and a copy of the opening brief to defendant. Also on that date, we notified defendant that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that he wished us to consider. After receiving two extensions of time in which to file a supplemental brief, defendant did not file any additional materials. The case was deemed to be fully briefed.
