Conservatorship of Christopher A.
Christopher A. appeals the judgment reestablishing a conservatorship of his person under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (LPS Act) (Welf. & Inst. Code, 5000 et seq.). Citing People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), and Conservatorship of Ben C. (2007) 40 Cal.4th 529 (Ben C.), his appointed counsel states he is unable to find any arguable appellate issues and asks that we independently review the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues. Pursuant to Anders, he lists as possible but not arguable issues: whether the procedures for reestablishing the conservatorship conformed to the requisites of due process; whether the court improperly voir dired Christopher over the objections of trial counsel; whether it properly granted respondent's motion to strike Christopher's renewed request for a jury trial; and whether the renewed request for a jury trial may be considered the functional equivalent of a motion to withdraw consent to reestablishment of the conservatorship. The appeal is dismissed.
