NOT TO BE PUBLISHED
APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County No. JJ15438, S. Robert Ambrose, Temporary Judge. Pursuant to Cal. Const., art. VI, § 21.
Jonathan B. Steiner and Ann Krausz, under appointments by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

WILLHITE, J.
Tyrone W. appeals from an order of wardship pursuant to Welfare and Institution Code section 602 upon a finding that he committed a second degree robbery (Pen. Code, § 211), a felony. He was placed home on probation in the home of his grandparents.
On the date set for adjudication, the prosecution asked for a continuance, stating that it had a witness subpoenaed who failed to appear. Appellant objected to the continuance. The trial court granted the continuance, and at appellant’s request, released appellant from custody to his grandmother, ordering him to return to court the next day.
Appellant’s motion to dismiss for violation of his speedy trial rights was denied.
The evidence at the adjudication hearing established that on August 14, 2007, at approximately 5:30 p.m., Denis Jimenez was near the corner of Graham and 88th Street in Los Angeles when appellant and a companion, both on bicycles, approached him on the sidewalk and robbed him of jewelry and money.
After review of the record, appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed an opening brief requesting this court to independently review the record pursuant to the holding of People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.
On January 25, 2008, we advised appellant that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues which he wished us to consider. No response has been received to date.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that no arguable issues exist and that appellant has, by virtue of counsel’s compliance with the Wende procedure and our review of the record, received adequate and effective appellate review of the order entered against him in this case. (Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 278; People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 112-113.)
DISPOSITION
The order is affirmed.
We concur: EPSTEIN, P. J., MANELLA, J.
