In re VLADIMIR P., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. VLADIMIR P., Defendant and Appellant.

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED


Appellant Vladimir P., a minor, appeals from the judgment entered by the trial court committing him to Fouts Springs Youth Facility. His counsel raises no issues and asks this court for an independent review of the record as required by People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.

BACKGROUND

On November 17, 2005, appellant was arrested by Vallejo Police for using offensive language, after an altercation with two Hogan High School campus supervisors attempting to apprehend him for truancy. A search incident to the arrest revealed that appellant possessed what was suspected to be marijuana. On March 6, 2006, appellant was cited by Vallejo Police for a gang-related fight at Hogan High. On March 27, 2006, appellant was charged with one count of misdemeanor assault (Pen. Code, § 240) and one count of misdemeanor possession of 28.5 grams of marijuana or less (Health & Saf. Code, § 11357, subd. (b)) in a juvenile wardship petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, subdivision (a). In an amended juvenile wardship petition (ibid.), filed April 11, 2006, appellant was charged with one count of misdemeanor disturbing the peace of school by fighting (Pen. Code, § 415.5, subd. (a)).

On June 7, 2006, appellant was in a vehicle stopped by Vallejo Police because it matched the description of a vehicle used in a reported assault with a deadly weapon. Seated in the front passenger seat, appellant admitted to possessing marijuana after the officer identified the odor of the drug. In a second amended juvenile wardship petition under section 602, subdivision (a), filed June 8, 2006, appellant was charged with one further count of misdemeanor possession of 28.5 grams of marijuana or less (Health & Saf. Code, § 11357, subd. (b)). On June 12, 2006, appellant admitted to counts 3 and 4, disturbing the peace and one of the marijuana charges, and the two other charges were dismissed. He was placed on probation, given credit for 13 days served, ordered to pay $500 in attorney fees and a $100 restitution fine to Solano County, and ordered to abide by various terms and conditions of probation.

Appellant was arrested and booked into the Solano County Juvenile Detention Facility on August 30, 2006, following an altercation between two rival gangs in which one person was stabbed and subsequently transported by helicopter to the hospital. An eyewitness had identified appellant as the person who repeatedly stabbed the victim with an estimated four-inch knife outside of a movie theater. On September 1, 2006, appellant was charged with one count of felony assault with a deadly weapon (a knife), by means likely to produce great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)), and two counts of felony assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury (ibid.), in a juvenile wardship petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, subdivision (a). On September 20, 2006, appellant admitted to one count of felony assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury under Penal Code section 245, subdivision (a)(1), and the two remaining assault counts from the September 1, 2006 petition were dismissed. The probation department recommended that appellants wardship be continued and that he be released to his parents. The district attorney contested this recommendation, and a contested dispositional hearing was held on October 13 and 20, 2006.

On October 20, 2006, appellant was continued as a ward of the court and committed to the Fouts Springs Youth Facility for the maximum period of 4 years and 3 months, with 57 days of credit for time served. Furthermore, he was ordered to pay $500 in attorneys fees, $100 in restitution, and to submit to a number of other terms, such as the submission of a DNA sample to the probation department.

Appellant filed notice of appeal on October 30, 2006.

Our independent review of the record reveals no arguable issues. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.

We concur:
