In re N.V., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. N.V., Defendant and Appellant.
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN OFFICIAL REPORTS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 This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115. (Contra Costa County Super. Ct. No. J1700888)
N.V. (Minor) appeals a dispositional order adjudging her a ward of the juvenile court and committing her to a county institution with conditions of probation. Her counsel has filed an opening brief raising no issues and asking this court for an independent review of the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Minor has been apprised of her right to personally file a supplemental brief, but she has not done so.
A petition pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 was filed on September 28, 2018, alleging Minor, then 17 years old, unlawfully drove or took a vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a); count 1) and received a stolen motor vehicle, a misdemeanor (Pen. Code, § 496d; count 2). According to a probation department report, sheriff's deputies found Minor driving a vehicle that had been reported stolen. She said a friend had given her the keys to the vehicle and told her that it had been stolen.
All undesignated statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code. --------
Minor was also subject to the juvenile court's dependency jurisdiction (§ 300), and had a history of leaving her placement. The juvenile court determined that the case should proceed in the delinquency system under section 602. (See § 241.1)
Minor pled no contest to count two, after being informed of and waiving her constitutional rights and being informed of the consequences of her plea. As part of the plea, she waived her appellate rights for jurisdiction only. She was placed in the home of her brother on home supervision, but again left her placement, and was detained in juvenile hall.
At the November 28, 2018 dispositional hearing, the juvenile court adjudged Minor a ward, removed her from her parent or guardian, committed her to a county institution with conditions of probation, and vacated the section 300 dependency. Minor has appealed from the dispositional order.
Minor has asked us to take judicial notice of a July 22, 2019 order of the juvenile court terminating her wardship and probation unsuccessfully. We grant the request for judicial notice.
There are no meritorious issues to be argued.
DISPOSITION
The November 28, 2018 dispositional order is affirmed.
