P. v. Reid
Reids victims testified at the preliminary hearing about being robbed, or avoiding an attempted robbery, by a man who matched Reids description. Several of the victims positively identified Reid as their assailant. Reid was arrested by police officers who responded to a police radio dispatchers armed robbery report and stopped Reid because he matched the robbers description. The victim of that robbery identified Reid at a field show-up.
Reid filed a notice of appeal. On June 4, 2009, his appointed appellate counsel filed a Wende brief. Attached to the brief was a declaration from counsel stating that she had reviewed the record, written to Reid, sent him a copy of the brief and the record, and advised him of his right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days. That same day Court sent Reid a letter concerning his counsels inability to find any arguable issues and advised him of his right to file supplemental briefing. Reid did not file a supplemental brief. Court have examined the entire record and are satisfied that appellants attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.)
