FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION FOUR

In re J.W., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law.

THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, A170026 v. J.W., (Contra Costa County Defendant and Appellant. Super. Ct. No. J23-00568)

J.W. appeals from a dispositional order removing him from his mother’s supervision and ordering that he complete the Briones Youth Academy Commitment Pathway (Commitment Pathway). His attorney has filed a brief seeking our independent review of the appellate record, pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, to determine whether there is any arguable issue on appeal. J.W. was apprised of his right to file a supplemental brief, but he did not do so. Having reviewed the record, we find no arguable issues and affirm.

BACKGROUND On October 2, 2023, the Contra Costa County District Attorney filed a wardship petition under Welfare and Institutions Code1 section 602 alleging that J.W. committed four felony offenses rising from a single incident. On October 27, then 14-year-old J.W. pled no contest to one felony count of reckless driving to evade a peace officer (Veh. Code, § 2800.2, subd. (a)) and one misdemeanor count of unlawful carrying of a loaded firearm in a vehicle (Pen. Code, § 25850, subd. (a)). According to the probation department’s report prepared for the disposition hearing, on September 28, 2023, a Contra Costa County sheriff’s deputy saw a speeding Honda going through red traffic lights. After a high-speed chase, the vehicle stopped and J.W. and another male jumped out of the window and ran away. The deputy saw J.W. holding an object against his body and later found a firearm in the bushes where J.W. was found hiding. At his disposition hearing, J.W. was released on home supervision for 90 days and ordered to complete the Briones Youth Academy’s Community Pathway Program (Community Pathway). In December 2023, the district attorney filed a supplemental wardship petition alleging, among other charges, that on December 3, 2022, J.W. unlawfully drove a vehicle without consent in violation of Vehicle Code section 10851, subdivision (a). Also in December 2023, the probation department issued J.W. a notice that he had violated his probation by engaging in a fight at school, failing to obey school authorities, and using marijuana. In January 2024, a second supplemental wardship petition was filed, which alleged, among other charges, that on May 29, 2023, J.W. unlawfully
