P. v. Hands
Appellant Ruben Lamar Hands (appellant) appeals from his conviction and resulting sentence to one count of second degree robbery (Pen. Code,[1] § 211). Appellant’s counsel has filed an opening brief in which no issues are raised, and asks this court for an independent review of the record as required by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Counsel’s declaration states that he notified appellant that no issues were being raised by counsel on appeal, and that an independent review under Wende instead was being requested. Appellant was also advised of his right personally to file a supplemental brief raising any issues he chooses to bring to this court’s attention. No supplemental brief has been filed by appellant personally.
To assist this court in its review, pursuant to Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, counsel points out as a possible issue whether the trial court erred in denying appellant’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea.
