P. v. Montenegro
A jury convicted defendant Byron Montenegro (defendant) of felony arson for setting the mattress in his prison cell on fire. Defendant’s appointed attorney on appeal filed an opening brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 that raised no issues and asked us to independently review the record. This court invited defendant to personally submit a supplemental brief and he has done so, presenting ten contentions (without citation to the record or pertinent authority) that in his view warrant reversal. In the paragraphs that follow, we summarize the facts and explain why we reject defendant’s contentions.
