DIVISION THREE

In re B.T., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law.

THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. A144053 B.T., (Solano County Defendant and Appellant. Super. Ct. No. J41711)

17-year-old B.T. (appellant) appeals from the juvenile court’s dispositional order placing him in the juvenile hall’s Challenge Academy following a finding that he unlawfully received a stolen vehicle (Pen. Code, § 496d, subd. (a)). Appellant’s counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 and requests that we conduct an independent review of the record. Appellant was informed of his right to file a supplemental brief and did not do so. Having independently reviewed the record, we conclude there are no issues that require further briefing, and shall affirm the judgment. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Prior Proceedings On December 5, 2012, appellant was declared a ward of the court and placed on probation in his mother’s care after he admitted one count of misdemeanor battery (Pen. Code, § 242). On January 10, 2013, a notice of hearing was filed alleging appellant

had violated his probation by failing to obey his mother and abide by his curfew. Appellant admitted the curfew violation. On April 4, 2013, a notice of hearing was filed alleging appellant had violated his probation by failing to obey his mother and failing to abstain from marijuana. The next day, the juvenile court revoked appellant’s probation and issued a bench warrant for his arrest. Appellant surrendered himself to the police department and was booked into juvenile hall. He admitted he failed to obey his mother. The juvenile court continued its prior orders, placed appellant in juvenile hall, and gave probation discretion to release appellant to home detention with electronic monitoring. The court also ordered counseling and drug/alcohol and anger management services for appellant. On August 28, 2013, a notice of hearing was filed alleging appellant left home overnight without his mother’s permission and that his whereabouts were unknown. Appellant failed to appear for a mandatory weekend at juvenile hall, failed to abstain from drugs and alcohol, and failed to appear for a mandatory family therapy session. Appellant admitted he failed to appear for a mandatory weekend and the juvenile court continued its prior orders. On October 15, 2013, a notice of hearing was filed alleging appellant failed to attend school and failed to abide by a curfew. He admitted he failed to attend school and the juvenile court continued its prior orders. Another notice of hearing was filed November 21, 2013, alleging appellant failed to attend school and abide by conditional release orders, and had failed to drug test as ordered. A bench warrant was issued the following day. Appellant admitted he failed to attend school, and the juvenile court removed appellant from his mother’s care and ordered, among other things, mental health counseling and drug and alcohol services, and imposed gang-related terms and conditions. A 15-day-review indicated appellant had been placed at Wilderness Recovery Center. On January 21, 2014, a notice of hearing was filed alleging appellant left his placement without permission and that his whereabouts were unknown. A bench warrant was issued.
