“Anders” Brief Rejected

In rejecting an “Anders” brief, the Second Department noted:

The brief submitted by the appellant’s counsel pursuant to Anders v California (386 US 738) was deficient. The body of the brief—which was only 1½ pages in length—did not contain a statement of facts, and did not contain any case citations. The brief failed to analyze potential appellate issues or highlight facts in the record that might arguably support the appeal … . Since the brief does not demonstrate that assigned counsel acted “as an active advocate on behalf of his . . . client” … or that he diligently examined the record, we must assign new counsel to represent the appellant… .  People v McNair, 2013 NY Slip Op 06389, 2nd Dept 10-2-13
