California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(a), prohibits courts and parties from citing or relying on opinions not certified for publication or ordered published, except as specified by rule 8.1115(b).

(Los Angeles County)
A high school student reported to school officials that a fellow student, B.A., put him in a chokehold on two different days in May 2019. Three other students reported that B.A. physically assaulted one of them a few days later. A few days after that assault, four members of the school's track team reported that B.A. threatened to shoot them after they defended one of their peers against B.A.'s harassment.
In a Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition, prosecutors alleged that B.A. made criminal threats against the four members of the track team (Pen. Code, § 422) and committed battery against two other students (Pen. Code, § 243.2, subd. (a)). Pending the jurisdiction and disposition hearings, the juvenile court issued a protective order restraining B.A. from contacting the six alleged victims. B.A. appeals the issuance of that order. (In re Jonathan V. (2018) 19 Cal.App.5th 236, 238, fn. 1.)
We appointed counsel to represent B.A. in his appeal. After counsel examined the record, she filed an opening brief that raises no arguable issues. On January 15, 2020, we advised B.A. by mail that he had 30 days within which to submit any contentions or issues he wished us to consider. We have not received a response.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that B.A.'s attorney fully complied with her responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (In re Kevin S. (2003) 113 Cal.App.4th 97, 118-119; see People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The August 2, 2019, protective order is affirmed.
