P. v. Donahue
In this appeal, the court-appointed counsel for appellant Noelle Mary Donahue has briefed no issues and asks this court to review the record as required by People v. Wende(1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Appellant, who was convicted of embezzlement and grand theft by larceny following a jury trial, appealed her conviction to this court.[1] We reversed the judgment and remanded the matter with directions to hold a hearing pursuant to People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118 (Marsden). We directed the trial court to reinstate the judgment of conviction if (1) the Marsden motion is denied, (2) the Marsden motion is granted but substitute defense counsel declines to file a new trial motion or other appropriate motion, or (3) the Marsden motion is granted but the trial court denies a new trial motion or other appropriate motions filed by substitute counsel. The judgment is affirmed.
