P. v. Cobb
Prior to the sentencing hearing, Cobb made a motion under People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118 (Marsden), at which Cobb complained about the plea agreement and raised the possibility of withdrawing his guilty plea. The court conducted an in camera hearing on the motion. The motion to relieve counsel was denied. The defense did not file a motion to withdraw the guilty plea.
The court granted Cobb probation on various terms and conditions. The court imposed a custody sentence of 270 days, but authorized Cobb's release into a residential treatment program as soon as space became available.
Cobb filed a timely notice of appeal and the trial court granted a certificate of probable cause (§ 1237.5).
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) asking this court to independently review the record for arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Although counsel has not specifically pointed to a "possible," but "not arguable issue," counsel has set out the details of the proceedings such that we discern the possible, but not arguable, issue present in this record is whether the trial court properly denied Cobb's Marsden motion. We have carefully reviewed the entire record and we are satisfied no arguable issue for reversal on appeal exists in this record.
We offered Cobb the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal but he has not responded.
