Corsaro, Judge Pro Tempore AFFIRMED The Law Office of Thomas E. Higgins, P.L.L.C. By Thomas E. Higgins Tucson Attorney for Minor E S P I N O S A, Judge. ¶1 Pursuant to a plea agreement, appellant Giselle B. was adjudicated delinquent for possession of drug paraphernalia, and the juvenile court placed her on a one-year period of probation. Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Leon, 104 Ariz. 297, 451 P.2d 878 (1969). See also In re Maricopa Cnty. Juv. Action No. JV-117258, 163 Ariz. 484, 487, 788 P.2d 1235, 1238 (App. 1989) (juveniles adjudicated delinquent have constitutional right to Anders appeal). Counsel states there is no issue of arguable merit in this case. ¶2 Based on our review of the record, we find no reversible error. The record supports the juvenile court s findings that Giselle s admission was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent and that she provided an adequate factual basis to support her admission. Specifically, Giselle admitted that in November 2012 she had a glass pipe and a wrapper in [her] possession. The record also establishes the court exercised its broad discretion soundly in determining the appropriate disposition. See In re Themika M., 206 Ariz. 553, ¶ 5, 81 P.3d 344, 345 (App. 2003) (juvenile court has broad discretion to determine appropriate disposition of minor adjudicated delinquent and its determination will not be reversed absent an abuse of discretion). The juvenile court s order adjudicating Giselle delinquent and the disposition are affirmed. /s/ Philip G. Espinosa PHILIP G. ESPINOSA, Judge CONCURRING: /s/ Garye L. Vásquez GARYE L.
