How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that brief with two pages of legal analysis and no case law citations does not meet Anders requirements
• stating that we should accept inadequate Anders briefs “in those cases in which frivolousness is patent”
• providing that appellate courts must conduct independent review of record for non-frivolous issues
• contrasting the defendant’s twenty-six page pro se brief, which presented three issues for appeal, with counsel’s two-page discussion of fewer appealable issues
• examining issues addressed in defendant’s pro se brief that were not addressed in counsel’s Anders brief
• finding counsel’s two-page analysis of the merits of the potential appealable issues, which cited no case law, insufficient
