P. v. Gaines CA1/4
Marvin Gaines (appellant) appeals from a suspended sentence and the grant of a three-year term of formal probation following his guilty plea to a single count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of Penal Code section 29800, subdivision (a)(1).
Appellant’s counsel has filed an opening brief in which no issues are raised, and asks this court for an independent review of the record as required by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Counsel has declared that appellant has been notified that no issues were being raised by counsel on appeal, and that an independent review under Wende instead was being requested. Appellant was also advised of his right personally to file a supplemental brief raising any issues he chooses to bring to this court’s attention. No supplemental brief has been received from appellant.
