Opinion
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED
Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County No. VJ35462. Heidi W. Shirley, Temporary Judge. (Pursuant to Cal. Const., art. VI, § 21.)
Courtney M. Selan, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
Retired Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court, assigned by the Chief Justice pursuant to article VI, section 6 of the California Constitution.
Minor M.R. appeals from the juvenile court’s order denying her suppression motion and sustaining a petition pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602. The petition was based upon appellant’s possession of brass knuckles. After denial of her suppression motion, appellant admitted the allegation. The juvenile court sustained the petition and granted deferred entry of judgment under Welfare and Institutions Code section 790. Appellant then filed this appeal.
We appointed counsel to represent appellant on appeal. After examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues, noting that appellant’s case was not appealable, and asking this court to independently review the record. On January 15, 2009, we advised appellant she had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues she wished us to consider. To date, we have received no response.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that appellant’s counsel has fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 109-110; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.) A deferred entry of judgment under Welfare & Institutions Code section 790 is not an appealable judgment or order. (In re Mario C. (2004) 124 Cal.App.4th 1303, 1308-1309.) If appellant fails to satisfactorily comply with the terms and conditions imposed by the juvenile court, that court will enter judgment and make a dispositional order. If and when that happens, there will then be a “judgment” from which an appeal will lie. At this time, however, there is no judgment or appealable order, and the appeal must be dismissed.
DISPOSITION
The appeal is dismissed.
