COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

STATE OF CALIFORNIA

In re J.M., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. D083871 THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. J244179)

v.

J.M.,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Richard R. Monroy, Judge. Affirmed. Jared G. Coleman, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

J.M. appeals the order reducing the baseline term of confinement in a secure youth treatment facility the juvenile court had set after J.M. admitted he committed a robbery and two assaults with a firearm when he was

15 years old. Counsel appointed to represent J.M. on appeal has filed a brief in which he raised no claims of error and asked us to review the record independently for reversible error. (See People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) Having reviewed the record and found no prejudicial error, we affirm. BACKGROUND Audiovisual recordings on 15-year-old J.M.’s cell phone captured him beating M.C., threatening M.C., removing M.C.’s necklace and pants, and leaving with the loot. I.M. contacted D.H. and R.B. and told them what had happened to M.C. When the three arrived at the scene of the incident involving J.M. and M.C., J.M. and four others were waiting for them. Video surveillance captured J.M. and one of his companions emerging from behind the fence with handguns and firing multiple shots at I.M., D.H., and R.B. I.M. sustained life-threatening gunshot wounds that required surgery. R.B. and D.H. sustained non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. The People filed a petition against J.M. under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 alleging: five counts of attempted murder (counts 1–5; Pen. Code, §§ 21a, 187, subd. (a)) (one count each for I.M., D.H., and R.B., and two counts for John Does), with firearm enhancements on all counts (id., §§ 12022.5, subd. (a), 12022.53, subd. (d)) and great bodily injury enhancements on the counts concerning I.M., D.H., and R.B. (id., § 12022.7, subds. (a), (b)); five counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm (counts 6– 10; id., § 245, subd. (b)) (one count each for I.M., D.H., and R.B., and two counts for John Does), with great bodily injury enhancements on the counts concerning I.M., D.H., and R.B. (id., § 12022.7, subds. (a), (b)); robbery of M.C. (count 11; id., § 211); and assault on M.C. by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury (count 12; id., § 245, subd. (a)(4)). The People
