Opinion


In re K.K., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. K.K., Defendant and Appellant. C055440 California Court of Appeal, Third District, Sacramento January 9, 2008

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

Super. Ct. No. JV112623

BLEASE, Acting P. J.

Following a contested jurisdictional hearing in 2003, the juvenile court sustained an allegation that K.K. (the minor) had committed child molestation (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a)), involving sodomy and oral copulation with a four-year-old victim at his mother’s day care center. The minor was adjudged a ward of the court, and in May 2003, he was placed in a group home for sex offenders.

In September 2004, after absconding from the group home, the minor was placed at a residential facility with intensive sex offender treatment. In May 2006, the minor (who was then 18 years old) was discharged from the residential facility after committing numerous rule violations, the most recent of which was accessing pornography on a computer at his job.

The minor admitted he had violated the terms of his probation. Following a contested dispositional hearing, the juvenile court committed the minor to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Justice, noting that the minor would receive substance abuse treatment and some type of sex offender treatment during his commitment.

We appointed counsel to represent the minor on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief setting forth the facts of the case and, pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, requesting the court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. 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.

We have undertaken an independent examination of the entire record and have found no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to the minor.

The judgment is affirmed.

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