IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT

(El Dorado)

----

Jacques M. (the minor) admitted he had committed felony vandalism. (Pen. Code, 594, subd. (b)(1).) The allegation was based on an incident in which the minor threw eggs and other substances at the victims house and car. The minor initially was placed on informal supervision (Welf. & Inst. Code, 654.1, subd. (a)), but subsequently was adjudged a ward of the court after he admitted committing new offenses. Following a restitution hearing regarding the vandalism offense, restitution was set in the amount of $3,160.64 based on repair estimates prepared by the victims insurance company.

The minor appeals. We appointed counsel to represent the minor on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief setting forth the facts of the case and, pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, requesting the court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. The minor was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days have elapsed, and we have received no communication from the minor.

We have undertaken an independent examination of the entire record and have found no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to the minor.

DISPOSITION

The orders of the juvenile court are affirmed.
