In re Barbara B.
Appellant, Barbara B., appeals from the order of the juvenile court on March 5, 2008, finding her to fall within the provisions of Welfare and Institutions Code section 6500 as a result of mental retardation. The juvenile court ordered appellants commitment to a local community care facility. Appellants appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief, which summarizes the pertinent facts, raises no issues, and requests this court to independently review the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) The opening brief also includes the declaration of appellate counsel indicating that appellant was advised she could file her own brief with this court. By letter on June 17, 2008, we invited appellant to submit additional briefing. This court received a supplemental brief from appellants mother on July 18, 2008 that outlines the procedural history of appellants case and requests appellants commitment be reversed because the arson charges were dismissed in March 2008.
