P. v. Poteat
Appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief summarizing the facts and proceedings below. Counsel presents no argument for reversal, but asks this court to review the record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). Pursuant to Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders) counsel lists as possible, but not arguable, issues: (1) whether the court erred by sentencing Poteat to 15 years to life without considering probation, for which he was statutorily eligible; and (2) whether the court should have granted Poteat's request for a certificate of probable cause.
We granted Poteat permission to file a brief on his own behalf. He has not responded. A review of the record pursuant to Wende and Anders, including the possible issues listed pursuant to Anders, has disclosed no reasonably arguable appellate issues. Poteat has been competently represented by counsel on this appeal.
