P. v. Woods
In June 2004, Deno Eugene Woodis was found to be a mentally disordered offender (MDO). He was committed to a state hospital (Pen. Code, § 2962). Each year thereafter, through 2011, Woodis was again committed as an MDO (Pen. Code, §§ 2970 & 2972).
In January 2012, the District Attorney again petitioned the court to commit Woodis as an MDO. Following a court trial, Woodis was committed as an MDO for an additional year.
Prior to trial, Woodis brought a motion to replace counsel under People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118 (Marsden). The motion was heard and denied by the trial court.
Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders) raising possible, but not arguable issues.[1] We offered Woodis the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal but he has not responded.
