STATE OF CALIFORNIA

In re BRODY N., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. D083686 THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. J245280)

v.

BRODY N.,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Tilisha Martin, Judge. Affirmed. Pauline E. Villanueva, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

Brody N. appeals a disposition order entered by the juvenile court after a contested hearing. The court sustained allegations that Brody N. committed three counts of attempted murder (Pen. Code, §§ 664, 187,

subd. (a)) and four counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm (id., § 245, subd. (b)). It declared him a ward of the court (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602, subd. (a)) and committed him to a secure youth treatment facility with a three-year baseline term of confinement and a maximum term of confinement of 13 years eight months. Brody N.’s court-appointed appellate counsel filed a brief raising no arguable issues for reversal, but seeking our independent review of the record under People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738. We informed Brody N. 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. Therefore, we affirm the disposition order. FACTUAL BACKGROUND One evening, J.M.’s mother picked him up from work and drove him to their shared apartment in Oceanside. When they arrived home, they encountered J.M’s brother, E.M., and E.M.’s friend, A.S., standing outside at the back entrance to the apartment. J.M.’s mother started to walk inside while J.M., E.M., and A.S. remained outside. Moments later, Brody N. and two other young men pulled up near the back gate of the apartment on an electric bike. One of the riders on the electric bike asked J.M., E.M., and A.S. where they were from. Immediately after, two of the riders shot at J.M., E.M., and A.S. J.M. was struck in the leg by a bullet, E.M. was struck in the neck by a pellet or shrapnel, and A.S. was struck in the thigh by a bullet or pellet. A bullet or shrapnel also grazed J.M. and E.M.’s mother on her side. The most prominent criminal street gangs in Oceanside are Center Street Gang, Varrio Mesa Locos, Varrio Posole Locos, and Deep Valley
