‘ANDERS’ BRIEF DEFICIENT; NEW COUNSEL ASSIGNED FOR THE APPEAL (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the “Anders” appellate brief submitted by counsel was deficient and assigned new counsel for the appeal:

The brief submitted by the appellant’s counsel pursuant to Anders v California (386 US 738) is deficient because it fails to contain an adequate statement of facts and fails to analyze potential appellate issues or highlight facts in the record that might arguably support the appeal … . The statement of facts does not review, in any detail, the Supreme Court’s advisements to the appellant regarding the rights he was waiving, the inquiries made of the appellant to ensure that the admission was knowingly and voluntarily entered, or the appellant’s responses to any of those advisements and inquiries … . Since the brief does not demonstrate that assigned counsel fulfilled his obligations under Anders v California, we must assign new counsel to represent the appellant … . People v Morales, 2020 NY Slip Op 01188, Second Dept 2-19-20

Similar issues and result in People v Santos, 2020 NY Slip Op 01193, Second Dept 2-19-20
