THE COURT:*
Juvenile defendant Paul N. (defendant) appeals from the dispositional order

counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal. 3d 436 (Wende), raising

to have considered. We have not received a response to date. We have independently
reviewed the record and agree that there are no arguable issues and thus affirm.
A detained Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition was filed with the
juvenile court, alleging second degree robbery (Pen. Code, § 211).
The prosecution put on evidence that defendant and his friend approached two
pedestrians, and stole a cell phone from one pedestrian before attempting to steal the
other’s cell phone. During the robbery, defendant flashed a gun tucked in his pants. One
pedestrian identified defendant in a photo lineup about a month after the robbery. After
the lineup and identification, law enforcement Mirandized1 defendant who produced a
written statement denying his involvement.
After the prosecution rested, defendant moved to dismiss, alleging
misidentification; the juvenile court denied the motion. Defendant then testified that it
was his friend that had a gun and perpetrated the robbery.
The juvenile court found the robbery allegation to be true, continued the current
order of home on probation, awarded 30 days of credit, and ordered a community
detention program until January 15, 2015. Defendant timely appealed.
We have examined the entire record and have determined that there are no
arguable issues. We are satisfied that defendant’s counsel has fully complied with his
responsibilities under Wende, supra, 25 Cal. 3d 436.
DISPOSITION
The order is affirmed.
