In re F.P.
In the dispositional order, the juvenile court sustained the allegation charging F.P. with one count of misdemeanor battery (Pen. Code, § 242). Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 725, subdivision (a), the court placed F.P. on probation, with terms and conditions, for a period of six months without adjudging him to be a ward of the court.
F.P. timely appealed from the dispositional order. Appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), setting forth the facts of the case and requesting that we review the entire record. Pursuant to Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), appointed counsel suggested we consider two issues, which we address in section 4. F.P was granted 30 days to file written arguments in his own behalf, but did not file anything.
We have examined the entire record and counsel’s Wende/Anders brief. We looked for issues other than those raised by counsel, but after considering the entire record, we have found no reasonably arguable issue. (Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.) We therefore affirm.
2. Procedural History
In June 2011, a petition to declare F.P. a ward of the court was filed. The petition alleged F.P. committed one count of misdemeanor assault and one count of misdemeanor battery against “Jane Doe†(some capitalization omitted), identified in the detention report as F.P.’s mother (Mother). The juvenile court denied F.P.’s request to be released on home supervision program (HSP), and ordered that F.P. be removed from Mother’s custody and detained in juvenile hall in the custody of the probation department.
In July 2011, the juvenile court conducted a detention hearing pursuant to In re Dennis H. (1971) 19 Cal.App.3d 350, at the conclusion of which the court released F.P. to Mother’s custody. Later that month, the court placed F.P. on informal probation for six months pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 654. Probation was made subject to terms and conditions, including attendance at school unless excused. The court stated that “[a]s long as you are attending school on a regular basis and there [are] no new law violations then this case will be dismissed on January 18th[, 2012].â€
