BLEASE, Acting P. J.

This is an appeal pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.

The People filed a delinquency petition alleging that between September 7-11, 2008, the minor committed five violent or threatening acts while in custody after she absconded from a group home in which she had been placed due to a prior sustained delinquency petition.

After the trial court received reports that supported the view that the minor was unfit to be treated as a juvenile, the minor stipulated to such unfitness. In exchange, the People filed a criminal complaint alleging only two of the five counts from the delinquency petition (Pen. Code, §§ 69, 71) and the parties agreed the minor would waive custody credits and receive a sentence of two years and eight months, to be served in a juvenile facility.

At a subsequent hearing, the minor pled guilty to the charges in the complaint, and admitted violating probation in an underlying case, and was sentenced to two years and eight months, to be served at a juvenile facility, in accordance with the prior agreement.

The minor timely appealed.

We appointed counsel to represent the minor on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case and asks this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.) The minor was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed, and we received no communication from the minor. Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no arguable errors that would result in a disposition more favorable to the minor.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed.

We concur: ROBIE, J., CANTIL-SAKAUYE, J.
