Filed 4/15/11 In re R.S. CA1/4 NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN OFFICIAL REPORTS California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(a), prohibits courts and parties from citing or relying on opinions not certified for publication or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 This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115. IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION FOUR In re R.S., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. A130248 R.S., Defendant and Appellant. (Contra Costa County Super. Ct. No. J0800169) R.S. appeals from an order declaring him a ward of the juvenile court and committing him to placement at the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility for a ninemonth program. His counsel raises no issues and asks this court for an independent review of the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Defendant was apprised of his right to file a supplemental brief but did not do so. On March 11, 2008, the court adjudged defendant a ward of the court upon his admission that he possessed a knife at school (Pen. Code1, § 626.10, subd. (a)). The court placed defendant on probation on conditions including that he not associate with gangs and that he participate in anger management and counseling. 1 All further statutory references are to the Penal Code. 1 On September 15, 2010, a supplemental Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition was filed alleging that defendant possessed a firearm in a school zone (§ 626.9, subd. (b)), possessed a firearm as a minor (§ 12101, subd. (a)) and possessed ammunition as a minor (§ 12101, subd. (b)). The charges resulted after the police conducted a probation search on defendant when he was standing in front of his school after school had let out for the day. On September 23, 2010, defendant waived his right to a jurisdictional hearing and admitted that he possessed a firearm as a minor. The court dismissed the remaining allegations of the petition. The disposition hearing was held on October 14, 2010. The court continued defendant as a ward of the court and ordered that he be detained in juvenile hall pending placement in the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility. Defendant was represented by counsel. There was no error in the disposition. This court has reviewed the entire record and there are no meritorious issues to be argued. DISPOSITION The order is affirmed. ________________________ RIVERA, J. We concur: ___________________________ REARDON, Acting P.J. ___________________________ SEPULVEDA, J. 2
