P. v. Curtis
Defendant Cherrie Lynn Curtis was committed to the state mental hospital pursuant to "Penal Code section 1026" Penal Code section 1026[1] in 2003 after the trial court found her not guilty by reason of insanity to the criminal charges of five counts of resisting an officer by force ( "§ 69" § 69), two counts of misdemeanor battery ( "§ 242" § 242), and one count of brandishing a deadly weapon, a misdemeanor ( "§ 417, subd. (a)(1)" § 417, subd. (a)(1)).
On August 30, 2011, the People filed a petition to extend defendant’s commitment pursuant to "section 1026.5" section 1026.5. Following a court trial, the trial court granted the motion and continued defendant’s commitment to the state mental hospital.
We appointed counsel to represent appellant on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief setting forth the facts of the case, raising no issues, and requesting this court review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (See "People v. Wende(1979) 25 Cal.3d 436" People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) Appellant was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed, and we received no communication from appellant.
