P. v. Pollard CA4/1
Monica Pollard was charged with one count of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211), one count of assault with a deadly weapon (§ 245, subd. (a)(1)), and one count of exhibiting a deadly weapon (§ 417, subd. (a)(1)).
Criminal proceedings were suspended and Pollard was found incompetent to stand trial (§ 1368). He was committed to a state hospital for treatment. In July 2016, the court found Pollard's competency had been restored.
Following a Marsden hearing the case proceeded to jury trial. The jury found Pollard guilty of assault with a deadly weapon. Pollard was sentenced to four years in prison. Pollard filed a timely notice of appeal.
Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) indicating he has not been able to identify any arguable issue for reversal on appeal. Counsel asks this court to review the record as mandated by Wende. We offered Pollard the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal but he has not respond
