In re ALONZO G., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, A141072 v. ALONZO G., (Contra Costa County Super. Ct. No. J1200548) Defendant and Appellant.
Alonzo G. appeals from the juvenile court’s disposition order in a proceeding under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602. His attorney has filed a brief seeking our independent review of the record, pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (see Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738), in order to determine whether there is any arguable issue on appeal. We find no arguable issue and affirm. I. FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY In April 2012, a Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition charged appellant with brandishing a weapon (Pen. Code, § 417, subd. (a)(1)) and making criminal threats (Pen. Code, § 422). In August 2012, appellant admitted the criminal threats allegation, and the brandishing allegation was dismissed. Appellant was placed on formal probation without wardship pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 725. The court awarded restitution to the victim in an amount to be determined.

In January 2013, appellant admitted that he had been suspended from school for smoking marijuana, thereby violating his probation. In February 2013, the court sustained allegations of subsequent probation violations, with findings that appellant had been absent from school, did not return home, and violated his curfew. In March 2013, appellant was declared a ward of the court, placed on probation with electronic monitoring, and returned to live with his mother. On May 1, 2013, appellant admitted he again violated his probation, this time based on his school performance. He was returned to probation with all previous orders to remain in effect. On May 31, 2013, a supplemental Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition alleged two counts of unlawfully taking a motor vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)), misdemeanor vandalism (Pen. Code, § 594, subd. (b)(2)(A)), and first degree burglary (Pen. Code, §§ 459, 460, subd. (a)). In one incident, appellant had been caught in possession of a stolen dirt bike and was observed on videotape stealing the dirt bike from a garage. In another incident, a witness observed appellant driving a stolen SUV, and a security video showed him getting out of the car. A notice of a probation violation hearing was also filed, based on appellant’s failure to attend school, a suspension from school, and a second suspension from school for threatening to slap a teacher. On June 14, 2013, appellant admitted one count of unlawfully taking a vehicle (for the car theft) and an added misdemeanor count of second degree burglary under Penal Code sections 459 and 460, subdivision (b) (as to the dirt bike); the other counts and the probation violation petition were dismissed. The court ordered appellant to complete a six-month Contra Costa County ranch program at the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility (OAYRF). The court also ordered restitution for one victim and set a contested restitution hearing for another victim. About a month after appellant was released from his six-month OAYRF commitment, he was arrested in Solano County after police observed him driving a Jeep Wrangler off a dealership’s lot. After the police apprehended him, appellant admitted breaking into the dealership, taking a key fob, activating it until he identified the vehicle
