FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION FIVE
In re R.R., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. R.R., A143372 Defendant and Appellant. (Alameda County Super. Ct. No. SJ13020772-01)
Appellant R.R. appeals following a jurisdictional admission and the juvenile court’s subsequent dispositional order. Appellant’s counsel has raised no issue on appeal and asks this court for an independent review of the record to determine whether there are any arguable issues. (Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Appellate counsel advised appellant of his right to file a supplementary brief to bring to this court’s attention any issue he believes deserves review. (People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106.) Appellant has not filed such a brief. We have reviewed the entire record, find no arguable issues, and affirm.

BACKGROUND In April 2013, a Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, subdivision (a)1 petition was filed charging appellant, then 14 years old, with one count of murder (Pen. Code, § 187), one count of attempted carjacking (id., §§ 215, 664), two counts of carjacking (id., § 215), one count of robbery (id., § 211), and one count of evading an officer (Veh. Code, § 2800.2). As to all counts except the evading an officer count, an enhancement was alleged that appellant was one of the principals in the charged offense, one of whom was armed with a firearm (Pen. Code, § 12022, subd. (a)(1)). The People concurrently filed a petition for a fitness hearing and requested a finding that appellant was unfit for juvenile court treatment (§ 707). The charges were based on a two-day crime spree during which appellant and friends carjacked, shot, and/or robbed four separate victims.2 Appellant admitted to police officers that he was present during the crimes and that he entered at least one of the carjacked cars. In August 2014, appellant entered an admission to the murder charge, after admitting in open court he knew, before embarking on the charged crime spree, that one of his companions was armed with a loaded firearm. All other counts and enhancements were dismissed, with the agreement that the trial court could consider the facts underlying the dismissed counts and enhancements for sentencing and restitution purposes. The People withdrew their pending section 707 petition. The probation report described appellant’s personal history. Appellant did not know his father until he was 13. His mother had health issues and received disability benefits. Another relative told probation appellant’s mother “left him to fend for himself.” Appellant was born with a leg deformity that required amputation during early childhood. When he was confined at the Juvenile Justice Center during the instant
