IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

IN RE A. B., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law.	H035385 (Santa Clara County Super. Ct. No. JV32587)
THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. A. B., Defendant and Appellant.

The minor, A. B., appeals from a dispositional order, following the findings by the juvenile court that he committed an auto burglary (Pen Code, §§ 459, 460, subd. (b))[1] and exhibited a deadly weapon, a baseball bat (§ 417, subd. (a)(1)). The court committed the minor to juvenile hall for 120 days and ordered that he participate in the life skills program.
On appeal the minor contends that there was insufficient evidence to support the finding of an auto burglary on an aiding and abetting theory, and insufficient evidence to support a finding that he exhibited a weapon when he acted, according to the minor, in imperfect defense of another.
For reasons that we will explain, we will affirm the dispositional order.
