While walking on the street, Juan U., then 17 years old, made eye contact with an undercover police officer, before entering the officers car and agreeing to engage in oral sex for $100. Juan U. was arrested, and the district attorney filed a petition pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 alleging Juan U. had committed the misdemeanor offenses of engaging in prostitution (Pen. Code, § 647, subd. (b)) and loitering to commit prostitution (Pen. Code, § 653.22, subd. (a)).

Juan U. admitted the allegations in the petition. The juvenile court sustained the petition, found Juan U. a ward of the court, placed him on probation for six months pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 725, subdivision (a). Juan U. filed a timely notice of appeal. (See In re Do Kyung K. (2001) 88 Cal.App.4th 583, 590 [juvenile may appeal order placing him on probation without wardship pursuant to Welf. & Inst. Code, § 725, subd. (a)].)

We appointed counsel to represent Juan U. on appeal. After examination of the record, counsel filed an "Opening Brief" in which no issues were raised. On September 25, 2007 we advised Juan U. he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues he wished us to consider. No response has been received to date. We have examined the entire record and are satisfied Juan U.s attorney has fully complied with the responsibilities of counsel and no arguable issues exist. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 277-284 [120 S.Ct. 746, 145 L.Ed.2d 756]; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 123-124; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.) The order under review is affirmed.
