Description
Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders) and People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) require an appellate court to independently review the record in a criminal defendants first appeal as a matter of right if appointed appellate counsel represents he or she has found no arguable issues. In Conservatorship of Ben C. (2007) 40 Cal.4th 529 (Ben C.), the California Supreme Court held that Anders/Wende review is not required on an appeal from the imposition of a conservatorship under the LantermanPetris-Short Act (LPS Act). In this case, we find Ben C. compels a similar conclusion in an appeal from the denial of outpatient status pursuant to a petition for restoration of competency (Pen. Code, 1026.2), if appointed appellate counsel represents he or she has found no arguable issues, and that this court is not required to independently review the record pursuant to the Anders/Wende procedures.
