THE PEOPLE,
Plaintiff and Respondent,
v.
ALEXIS D.,
Defendant and Appellant.
Super. Ct.
No. GJ30018)
THE COURT:href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title="">*
Minor and appellant
Alexis D. (minor) appeals from a juvenile court judgment entered November 7, 2012. Minor’s appointed counsel filed a brief
pursuant to href="http://www.mcmillanlaw.com/">People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436
(Wende), raising no issues. On February
27, 2013, we notified minor and gave her leave to file, within 30
days, her own brief or letter stating any grounds or arguments she might wish
to have considered. That time has
elapsed, and minor has submitted no brief or letter. We have reviewed the entire record, and
finding no arguable issues, affirm the judgment.
The juvenile court
declared minor to be a ward of the court after sustaining a petition filed
pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602. The petition alleged that minor had committed
a misdemeanor battery in violation of Penal Code section 242. At the hearing on the petition, minor’s
father (father) testified that on October 17, 2012, minor argued with her
mother (mother), used foul language, and refused several demands by father to
stop and to go to her room. When minor
continued in an aggressive manner and moved closer to mother, father stepped
between them. Minor reacted by shoving
him hard, attempting to knee him in the groin, and punching his arm. Father then physically restrained minor by
grabbing her arms.href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"

After sustaining the
petition, the juvenile court ordered suitable placement and probation upon
specified conditions. The court set the
maximum term of confinement as six months and awarded 21 days of predisposition
credit. Minor filed a timely notice of
appeal from the judgment.
We have examined the
entire record and are satisfied that minor’s appellate counsel has fully
complied with his responsibilities and that no href="http://www.fearnotlaw.com/">arguable issue exists. We conclude that minor has, by virtue of
counsel’s compliance with the Wende
procedure and our review of the record, received adequate and effective
appellate review of the judgment entered against her in this case. (Smith
v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 278; People
v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 123-124.)
The judgment is affirmed.

father because she thought he was going to hit her, explaining that he had
slapped her and pulled her hair once in the past. Father acknowledged the past incident when he
reacted to minor calling him a “mother fucker,†but denied threatening minor on
this occasion.
