OPINION

RAMIREZ, P.J.

Defendant A.N. appeals from the juvenile court’s true findings that she assaulted a woman with a knife and inflicted great bodily injury. As discussed below, we affirm the juvenile court’s judgment.

Facts and Procedure

On July 6, 2009, around 2:30 or 3:00 a.m., A.N. returned to the house she shared with her boyfriend Dontay and a roommate. Dontay had the key to the house that night, so A.N. had to knock on the front door. No one answered, so A.N. went around the house and entered through the window of the roommate’s bedroom. In the room A.N. shared with Dontay, she found a purse, cell phone and shoes belonging to Maya, Dontay’s former girlfriend who was seven months pregnant with his child. A.N. also noticed condoms and lubricants. A.N. became upset and used Maya’s phone to call A.N.’s friend Michelle. A.N. told Michelle she would stab Maya if Maya ever came back to A.N.’s home.

Dontay and Maya had gone outside through a kitchen door. They saw A.N. outside burning Maya’s purse. A.N. went back inside the house and then came out again. She chased Maya toward the front door of the house and stabbed Maya in the shoulder after Maya fell to the ground. A.N. then went inside the house where she argued with Dontay. Maya was taken to the hospital, where she received 17 staples for her wound, which went from the upper right part of her arm toward her shoulder and onto her back.

On July 7, 2009, the People filed a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code, section 602 alleging that A.N. had committed assault with a deadly weapon, a knife, by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)). The petition also alleged that in the commission of the assault A.N. had inflicted great bodily injury (Pen. Code, §§ 667 & 1192.7, subd. (c)(8)).

On October 7, 2009, the court found the allegations to be true and found A.N. to be a ward of the court. The court committed A.N. to juvenile hall for 56 to 112 days, gave A.N. 56 days credit for time served, and released her from confinement. This appeal followed.

Discussion

After A.N. appealed, and upon her request, this court appointed counsel to represent her. Counsel has filed a brief under the authority of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 setting forth a statement of the case, a summary of the facts, and potential arguable issues and requesting this court to undertake a review of the entire record.

We offered A.N. an opportunity to file a personal supplemental brief, which she has not done. Pursuant to the mandate of People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, we have conducted an independent review of the record and find no arguable issues.

Disposition

The judgment is affirmed.

We concur: McKINSTER J., MILLER J.
