In re Robert D.

COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION ONE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

D063909 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 16, 2013)

Opinion

         NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

         APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County No. JCM232986, Browder A. Willis, Judge.

          Sarah Kleven McGann, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

          No appearance by Respondent.


          HALLER, J.

         Robert D., age 14, admitted, and the juvenile court found true, allegations of first degree burglary (Pen. Code, §§ 459/460), and that a person, not an accomplice, was present during the burglary (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (c)(21)). The court dismissed the remaining allegations, i.e., use of a dangerous weapon during the burglary, and a misdemeanor violation of Penal Code section 602.5. The court adjudged Robert a ward of the court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, placed him on probation with numerous terms and conditions, and detained him with his grandmother. The true finding on the first degree burglary charge rendered appellant ineligible for deferred entry of judgment. (Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 790, 707, subd. (b)(16); Cal. Rules of Court, rule 5.800.)

         FACTS

The facts are taken from the probation officer's social study report prepared for the disposition hearing.

         On February 28, 2013, appellant, who was carrying a kitchen knife, entered a residence and rummaged through drawers in the bedroom and took a pair of women's panties. While there, he used the victim's computer to access a pornographic Web site. The owner returned and found appellant attempting to hide in an upstairs closet; appellant's knife was found on the desk in that room.

         DISCUSSION

         Appointed appellate counsel has filed a brief summarizing the facts and proceedings below. Counsel presents no argument for reversal but asks this court to review the record for error as mandated by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Pursuant to Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, counsel refers to four possible, but not arguable, issues: (1) whether the prosecutor denied appellant due process by failing to file a written declaration whether he was eligible for deferred entry of judgment; (2) whether the court prejudicially erred in not holding a hearing to determine appellant's suitability for deferred entry of judgment; (3) whether a minor may admit less than all allegations of a juvenile petition and still be eligible for deferred entry of judgment; and (4) whether appellant's trial counsel provided ineffective assistance when she waived consideration of deferred entry of judgment. We granted appellant permission to file a brief on his own behalf. He has not responded.

         A review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California, supra, 386 U.S. 738, including the possible issues referred to by appellate counsel, has disclosed no reasonably arguable appellate issues. Competent counsel has represented appellant on this appeal.

         DISPOSITION

         The judgment is affirmed.

          WE CONCUR: McCONNELL, P. J., McINTYRE, J.
