P. v. Tyars
Dewayne Michael Tyars (Tyars), Justin David Tyson (Tyson) and Kenneth Melvin Battle (Battle) were charged with first degree burglary and possessing burglary tools. Tyars was also charged with receiving stolen property. They filed a motion to suppress evidence obtained during a detention following a traffic stop. After the motion was denied, they entered pleas and appealed.
Tyars contends that the motion to suppress should have been granted. We disagree. Our review of the record reveals that his detention was permissible under Fourth Amendment principles.
Appointed counsel for Battle and Tyson each filed briefs pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) that raised no issues and requested that we conduct an independent review of the record. We notified Battle on October 16, 2012, and Tyson on August 30, 2012, of the briefs filed by counsel and gave each of them an opportunity, within 30 days, to file a brief or letter identifying arguments for us to consider. That time elapsed, and they submitted no briefs or letters. We reviewed the entire record and found neither error nor arguable issues.
The judgments are affirmed.
