DIVISION TWO
In re NICHOLAS T., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. | |
THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. NICHOLAS T., Defendant and Appellant. | A117694 (Solano County Super. Ct. No. J36488) |
Appellant Nicholas T. appeals from a dispositional order entered after a contested jurisdictional hearing in which the juvenile court found he violated Penal Code section 594, subdivision (a) (vandalism over $400 damage). His counsel raises no arguable issues and asks this court for an independent review of the record as required by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.
BACKGROUND
On August 3, 2006, Megan W. and Natalie V. sat talking inside Megans car. Appellant and two others approached the car to speak with them. Natalie told them, We really dont want to talk to you guys. Shortly thereafter, Jonathan J., Nicholas co-participant at trial, climbed onto the car, followed shortly by Nicholas himself and one other person. All three proceeded to jump on the roof, collapsing it eight to ten inches. After Nicholas left the scene, police detained him along with two others. Megan performed an infield identification of him, based primarily on his distinctive outfit.
The juvenile appellant was charged with felony vandalism causing over $400 damage. (Pen. Code, 594, subd. (a), Welf. & Inst. Code, 602.) The court sustained the petition against the appellant at the contested jurisdictional hearing on January 29, 2007. At the dispositional hearing on March 19, 2007, the court ordered that Nicholas remain a ward of the court and continued his placement in the custody of his parents. The court also ordered him into probation, including attending counseling, completing volunteer work, paying restitution, abstaining from drugs and alcohol, obeying a curfew, submitting to future searches, avoiding contact with either Megan or Natalie, submitting a DNS sample, and having his drivers license suspended for a year.
Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal on May 7, 2007. The opening Wende brief was filed on August 22, 2007. Appellants appointed attorney advised him that appellant could personally file a supplemental brief, but no such brief has been received.
Our independent review of the record reveals no arguable issues.
Accordingly, this judgment is affirmed.
