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


NOT TO BE PUBLISHED California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(a), prohibits courts and parties from citing or relying on opinions not certified for publication or ordered published,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 This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115.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. JJCJVDE20150001876/70638)

Appointed counsel for minor R.C. has asked this court to review the record to determine whether there exist any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende); In re Kevin S. (2003) 113 Cal.App.4th 97, 119 [Wende procedure applies to appeals in juvenile delinquency cases].) Finding no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to the minor, we affirm the juvenile court's orders.

We provide the following brief description of the facts and procedural history of the case. (See People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 110, 124.)

During a probation search of the minor's home, an officer found a plastic container with 13 small plastic bindles, each containing 0.2 grams of a white crystal substance, in the minor's room. The substance was later found to be methamphetamine.

Following a contested jurisdictional hearing, the trial court found true one count of felony possession of methamphetamine for sale. (Heath & Saf. Code, § 11378.) The court made no finding on a second alleged count. It further found the minor had violated the terms and conditions of his probation.

The juvenile court declared the offense a felony. It then — adopting the recommendations of the probation report and finding placement in the home contrary to the minor's welfare — ordered the minor to the San Joaquin County Camp for 360 days (in addition to 48 days currently served). The court set the minor's maximum confinement time at three years eight months and awarded "credit for 48 days current and 160 days aggregated time served."

DISCUSSION

Counsel filed an opening brief setting forth the facts of the case and requesting we review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.) The minor was advised of his right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days have elapsed, and we have received no communication from the minor.

Having examined the record, we find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to the minor.

DISPOSITION

The orders of the juvenile court are affirmed.

HULL, Acting P. J. We concur: BUTZ, J. RENNER, J.
