IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION SIX
In re N.M., a Person Coming Under the 2d Juv. No. B258525
Juvenile Court Law. (Super. Ct. No. JV52020-B)
(San Luis Obispo County)
THE PEOPLE,
Plaintiff and Respondent,
v.
N.M.,
Defendant and Appellant.
N.M. appeals an order sustaining a petition for juvenile wardship. (Welf. &
Inst. Code, § 602, subd. (a).)
We appointed counsel to represent N. M. on this appeal. After examining
the record, his counsel filed an opening brief requesting the court to make an independent
review under People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal. 3d 436. On June 11, 2015, we advised
N.M. that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues
that he wished us to consider. We received no response.
A petition for juvenile wardship alleged that N.M. possessed heroin in
violation of Health and Safety Code, section 11350, subdivision (a). N.M. admitted the
allegation with the understanding he would either participate in a deferred entry of
judgment program or be permitted to withdraw his admission. The juvenile court found
he was not suitable for deferred entry of judgment and allowed N.M. to withdraw his
admission. After a contested hearing, the court found the allegation true and sustained
the petition. It continued N.M. as a ward of the court and removed him from his parents’
custody.
We are satisfied that N.M.'s attorney has fully complied with his
responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d at
pp. 441, 443.)
The judgment is affirmed.
