NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. JJ18019.

THE COURT:

BOREN, P.J., DOI TODD, J., CHAVEZ, J.

Defendant and appellant, minor Guadalupe G., appeals from an order declaring her a ward of the court (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602) by reason of her having committed one count of misdemeanor battery (Pen. Code, § 243, subd. (b)) and one count of simple assault (Pen. Code, § 240). She was placed on probation.

We appointed counsel to represent her on appeal. After examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised. On November 29, 2010, we advised appellant that she had 30 days within which to personally submit by brief or letter any contentions or arguments that she wished us to consider. No response has been received to date.

According to the record, sometime in January 2010, appellant pushed her mother, causing her to fall and hit her face against a door frame. A few months later, on April 25, 2010, appellant’s mother reported that appellant was missing. Officers visited appellant’s home the next day for a routine follow-up after appellant’s mother had reported her return. When officers tried to speak with appellant after receiving her mother’s permission to do so, she shouted some expletives, told them she was a “Little Boxer” from “Florence” and punched one officer in the chest area. Officers detained her at that point. After appellant received her Miranda rights, she was booked and transported to juvenile hall.

Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436.

On April 28, 2010, the Los Angeles County District Attorney filed a petition against appellant pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, alleging one count of misdemeanor battery against a peace officer (Pen. Code, § 243, subd. (b)) and one count of misdemeanor simple battery (Pen. Code, §§ 242/243, subd. (a)) for the January incident. Appellant denied the allegations.

The juvenile court adjudicated the matter on May 17, 2010 and sustained the petition, reducing count 2 to misdemeanor simple assault in violation of Penal Code section 240. The juvenile court ordered that appellant be placed home on probation with standard conditions.

Appellant timely appealed.

We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that appellant’s attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)

The order of wardship is affirmed.
