COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

STATE OF CALIFORNIA

In re J.F., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. D082913 THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. J243407)

v.

J.F.,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Rohanee Zapanta, Judge. Affirmed. Michaela Dalton, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

J.F. appeals from the juvenile court’s judgment entered after jurisdictional and dispositional orders sustaining allegations of robbery and receiving stolen property, declaring J.F. a ward of the court, and committing

him to juvenile detention for a period not to exceed 250 days. His court- appointed counsel filed a brief raising no issues but seeking our independent review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders). We informed J.F. of his right to file a supplemental brief, but he did not respond. Based on our independent review of the record, we find no reasonably arguable appellate issues and affirm the judgment. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND In May 2023, the victim of the robbery, G.V., was outside a T-Mobile store with another friend, when a group of six other minors approached him and eventually stole his skateboard and a speaker. J.F. was identified as one of the perpetrators. G.V. testified that he and the friend were hanging out, when the six other minors, some of whom G.V. recognized from school, approached them. G.V. said the six kids were initially friendly, but that when G.V.’s friend left, they became aggressive and went through G.V.’s pockets. They eventually took G.V.’s skateboard and a speaker that they found in a bag he was carrying. Security cameras from a nearby Starbucks captured the incident on video and G.V. was interviewed by police investigators shortly after. During the interview, G.V. told police that J.F. put his hands in G.V.’s pockets to look for valuable items. J.F. was charged with robbery for his role in the incident. Several months after the robbery, J.F.’s mother called 9-1-1 to report that J.F. had stolen her car. She told police that she had given J.F. her car keys so he could get something out of her car. She then fell asleep, and when she woke up, J.F. and the car were missing, so she called the police. J.F. eventually returned home, and his mother found him passed out in the car with alcohol containers inside.
