DIVISION ONE
In re B.Z., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law.
THE PEOPLE, A141128
Plaintiff and Respondent, (Contra Costa County v. Super. Ct. No. J12-01472) B.Z., Defendant and Appellant.
Minor B.Z. appeals from the dispositional order of the juvenile court committing him to the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility for a six-month program. Appellant’s court-appointed counsel has raised no issues and asks this court for an independent review of the record to determine whether there are any issues that would, if resolved favorably to appellant, result in reversal or modification of the judgment. (People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436; see Smith v. Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259.) Counsel attests appellant was advised of his right to file a supplemental brief. We have received no such brief. After independently reviewing the record, we conclude no arguable issues are presented for review and affirm the judgment.
STATEMENT OF FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY1 On January 6, 2014, at 10:51 p.m., South San Francisco police officers contacted appellant and an adult, who were seated in a vehicle located in the Embassy Suites Hotel parking lot after the officers noticed an odor of marijuana emanating from the vehicle. Appellant was sitting in the driver’s seat and identified himself as “James Anderson,” with a date of birth of November 1992. After a police K-9 search, a large amount of individually wrapped plastic “twists” containing crack cocaine was located inside of the vehicle’s steering column. Additionally, appellant had a bundle of money in denominations of $1, $5, and $20 bills totaling $117. On the adult’s person, the police found a large number of small plastic “ ‘twists,’ crack rocks, and a plastic bag containing marijuana.” Both appellant and the adult admitted smoking marijuana. Appellant and the adult were arrested and transported to the police station for questioning where an officer noticed appellant’s face did not match “James Anderson’s” Department of Motor Vehicles photo. After being read his Miranda2 rights, appellant admitted cocaine was in the steering column and he sells it. Appellant was questioned several times about his identity and consistently identified himself with “James Anderson’s” name. During the booking process, however, appellant’s identity was revealed following a search through several databases. A petition was filed on January 8, 2014, alleging appellant committed one count of possession for sale of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, § 11351.5), one count of false impersonation (Pen. Code, § 529, subd. (a)(3)),3 and one count of resisting arrest (Pen. Code, § 148, subd. (a)(1)). At the detention hearing also held on January 8, appellant admitted the felony count of possession for sale of a controlled substance. Because appellant resided in Contra Costa County, the matter was transferred there for disposition.
