P. v. McVay CA5
Appointed counsel for defendant Richard Allen McVay asked this court to review the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) We sent a letter to defendant, advising him of his right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. He responded with a supplemental brief, in which he contends: (1) the trial court erred in denying defense counsel’s request for time to speak to defendant in private while in the courtroom because of his hearing impairment; (2) defense counsel may not have investigated his case adequately; (3) the trial judge and the district attorney were prejudiced against defendant based on his prior conviction and lack of money to hire counsel; and (4) the trial court erred in denying his Romero motion. Having reviewed the record and finding no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant, we affirm the judgment.
