MEMORANDUM DECISION
Chief Judge Eckerstrom authored the decision of the Court, in which Presiding Judge Howard and Judge Vásquez concurred.
ECKERSTROM, Chief Judge:
¶1 After a delinquency hearing, the juvenile court found K.H. had committed sexual assault and kidnapping with intent to inflict death, physical injury, or a sexual offense on the victim. The court adjudicated K.H. delinquent and placed him on juvenile intensive probation until his eighteenth birthday. K.H.'s counsel has filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Clark, 196 Ariz. 530, 2 P.3d 89 (App. 1999), asking this court to review the record for error. See In re Maricopa Cnty. Juv. Action No. JV-117258, 163 Ariz. 484, 485-87, 788 P.2d 1235, 1236-38 (App. 1989) (affording juveniles adjudicated delinquent Anders-type review on appeal).
¶2 Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to sustaining the juvenile court's adjudication, see In re Julio L., 197 Ariz. 1, ¶ 6, 3 P.3d 383, 384-85 (2000), we conclude sufficient evidence supports the court's findings that K.H. committed the offenses listed above. In 2015, fourteen-year-old K.H. forced his fifteen-year-old classmate into a restroom, pinned her to the floor, and had nonconsensual intercourse with her. See A.R.S. §§ 13-1304(A)(3), 13-1406(A). The court's disposition was compliant with governing law. See A.R.S. §§ 8-341(A), (B), 8-352(C), (D).
¶3 We have searched the record as requested and find no reversible error. Therefore, the juvenile court's order adjudicating K.H. delinquent and its disposition are affirmed.
