____________________
Eliza P. appeals from an order declaring her a ward of the juvenile court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602. The order followed a finding Eliza committed felony assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)) and misdemeanor battery (id., § 242). The crimes occurred during a fight at school, in which Eliza participated. The court placed Eliza home on probation.
We appointed counsel to represent appellant on this appeal. After examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised, inviting us to review the record independently pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441. On January 31, 2006, we advised appellant that she had 30 days within which to submit personally any contentions or issues which she wished us to consider. No response has been received.
We have examined the record independently and found one issue of merit. The juvenile court ordered that Eliza not be confined for a period longer than four years, two months, presumably four years for the felony assault and two months for the misdemeanor battery. Welfare and Institutions Code section 726, subdivision (c), provides that a minor removed from parental custody pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 â€
