THE
PEOPLE,



Plaintiff and Respondent,



v.



MICHAEL
KARL McNEIL,



Defendant and
Appellant.




C070818



(Super. Ct. Nos.
CR026928, CR025563)










On
March 24,
2008, a complaint filed in Lassen County
Superior Court charged defendant Michael Karl McNeil with href="http://www.mcmillanlaw.com/">assault with a deadly weapon on or about
December 15,
2007, and violation of a restraining order
on or about December 26,
2007.
As to the assault charge, the complaint alleged that defendant had
incurred a prior strike.

On
July 31,
2008, a complaint filed in href="http://www.adrservices.org/neutrals/frederick-mandabach.php">Lassen
County Superior Court charged defendant of unlawful taking and driving of a
vehicle, grand theft, and violation of a court order, all taking place on or
about June 2,
2008.
The complaint alleged that defendant committed the offenses while on
release from custody.

On
August 8,
2011, the trial court granted the People’s
motions to dismiss both cases in the interest of justice because defendant had
been sentenced to a state prison term of 19 years in Los Angeles County.

On
August 29,
2011, defendant in href="http://www.mcmillanlaw.com/">propria persona filed a “Motion to Seal
and Destroy all Arrest Records” as to both cases, citing Penal Code section
851.8, subdivision (d).href="#_ftn1"
name="_ftnref1" title="">[1] The record does not show
that the prosecuting attorney concurred in defendant’s motion, as required by
Penal Code section 851.8, subdivision (d).

On
March 20,
2012, the trial court denied the
motion. The court’s order did not state
reasons, but the court triply underscored “subdivision (d)” on the form.

Defendant
filed a notice of appeal from the
order denying the motion.

We
appointed counsel to represent
defendant on appeal. Counsel filed an
opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case and requests this court to
review the record and determine whether there are any href="http://www.fearnotlaw.com/">arguable issues on appeal. (People
v. Wende
(1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.)
Defendant was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental
brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief.

Defendant
filed a supplemental brief raising the
following issues: (1) Defendant’s motion
to disqualify the trial judge for bias should have been granted. (2) Defendant’s motion to change venue (filed
May 6, 2011) should have been granted.
(3) Defendant’s request to disqualify the Lassen County District
Attorney’s Office for bias should have been granted. (4) Defendant’s motions to dismiss should
have been granted. (5) This court should
vacate the order denying defendant’s motion to seal and destroy records and
grant the requested relief. However, we
may not consider any of these issues because defendant does not support them by
proper citation to the record, legal argument, or authority. (Amato
v. Mercury Casualty Co.
(1993) 18 Cal.App.4th 1784, 1794; >Kim v. Sumitomo Bank (1993)
17 Cal.App.4th 974, 979.)

Having
undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no arguable error that
would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.

DISPOSITION

The
order appealed from is affirmed.

We
concur:

href="#_ftnref1"
name="_ftn1" title="">[1] Penal Code section
851.8 provides generally that a person arrested but later determined to be
factually innocent may petition for and obtain the sealing and destruction of
all records in the case. Subdivision (b)
provides that any superior court with territorial jurisdiction over the matter
may grant such relief. Subdivision (d),
cited by defendant, provides that if an accusatory pleading has been filed but
no conviction has occurred, the court may grant the relief specified in
subdivision (b) at the time of the dismissal of the accusatory pleading “with
the concurrence of the prosecuting attorney.”
