P. v. Bonin CA4/1
Aaron Daniel Bonin appeals from a judgment of the superior court extending Bonin's civil commitment to the Department of Mental Health for involuntary treatment as a mentally disordered offender (MDO). Bonin's counsel has filed a brief in accordance with People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders). We conclude that Anders/Wende procedures do not apply to appeals in MDO commitment cases, and thus dismiss the appeal.
