In re J.M. CA5
Appellant J.M., a minor, appeals from the dispositional order in this matter, finding true the contention that appellant committed the crime of rape, accomplished by means of force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on the person of another. (Pen. Code, § 261, subd. (a)(2).) Following our review of appellant’s initial brief, filed pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), we requested supplemental briefing addressing three issues concerning appellant’s advisement regarding registration under section 290 and any potential claim of ineffective assistance of counsel arising at the time of appellant’s plea. Appellant responded to that request by contending his plea advisement was improper, that he would not have admitted the petition if properly advised, and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel at his dispositional hearing. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm.
