NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN OFFICIAL REPORTS
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). This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115. (Super. Ct. No. JCM240345) APPEAL from a Judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Ana Espana, Judge. Affirmed. Matthew R. Garcia, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
A petition was filed in the juvenile court alleging K.M. (the Minor) committed two counts of criminal threats (Pen. Code, § 422) and one count of misdemeanor battery to a school employee (Pen. Code, § 243.6).
The Minor admitted one count of criminal threats and the remaining charges were dismissed on motion of the People. At the disposition hearing the Minor was declared a ward of the court and placed in a residential treatment program.
The Minor filed a timely notice of appeal.
Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) indicating he has not been able to identify any arguable issue for reversal on appeal. Counsel asks this court to review the record for error as mandated by Wende. We offered the Minor the opportunity to file her own brief on appeal, but she has not responded.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
The Minor admitted that on January 24, 2019, she willingly and unlawfully made threats to a temporary staff member which placed the person in sustained fear. The Minor admitted the threat was made with the specific intent to place the victim in sustained fear.
DISCUSSION
As we have noted, appellate counsel has filed a Wende brief and asks this court to review the record for error as required by Wende. To assist the court in its review of the record, and in compliance with Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders), counsel has identified the following possible issue that counsel considered in evaluating the merits of this appeal: Whether the court abused its discretion by ordering the Minor to be placed in a treatment facility.
We have reviewed the entire record as mandated by Wende and Anders. We have not identified any arguable issue for reversal on appeal. Competent counsel has represented the Minor on this appeal.
DISPOSITION
The adjudication and disposition orders are affirmed.
