P. v. Chavez
Court appointed counsel to represent Defendant on appeal. Counsel filed a brief that set forth the facts of the case. Counsel did not argue against her client, but advised the court no issues were found to argue on his behalf. Court invited Defendant to file a supplemental brief, which he did. Defendant's supplemental brief is somewhat unusual as it appears to have been penned by a person other than Chavez. The brief begins, "I Mr. Lozolla am writing this for Mr. Chavez." Court also note that statements are made throughout the brief using both the first and third persons thereby creating confusion as to what statements are Defendant's assertions and what are merely Court have also independently examined the record. Court found no arguable issues. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Court affirm the judgment.
