IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION ONE
In re Damian W., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. THE PEOPLE, A144377 Plaintiff and Respondent, (San Francisco County v. Super. Ct. No. JW-13-6122) Damian W., Defendant and Appellant.
This is an appeal from the San Francisco County Juvenile Court’s disposition hearing and order dated January 15, 2015. The minor was committed to Log Cabin Ranch School. The appeal is authorized pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 800. Appellate counsel for the minor has presented this court with a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, and has advised the minor of this. The minor has been given the option of providing this court with supplemental briefing, but has not done so. We have reviewed the case record and find no basis to change the trial court’s disposition. We affirm the judgment. STATEMENT OF THE CASE This prosecution originated in the juvenile court when the district attorney filed a wardship petition on September 4, 2013. The petition alleged the minor committed the felonies of robbery, a violation of Penal Code section 212.5, subdivision (a), and assault
by force likely to cause great bodily injury, a violation of Penal Code section 245, subdivision (a)(4). That prosecution was reviewed by this court in a prior appeal, and the judgment was affirmed. (In re Damian W. (June 17, 2014, A140062 [nonpub. opn.].) We also granted minor’s habeas corpus petition, which concerned ineffective assistance of counsel regarding the assault charge and enhancements. The matter was remanded to the trial court. On August 13, 2014, the district attorney filed a return on the petition for writ of habeas corpus related to the first appeal. The prosecution conceded the minor had received ineffective assistance of counsel and was entitled to be put in the position he would have been in had he accepted the pretrial offer in the original case, which was a plea to one count of first degree robbery, with the remaining count dismissed. On August 18, 2014, the trial court determined the minor had received ineffective assistance of counsel, struck the section 245 finding and the great bodily injury allegations on both counts of the September 4, 2013 petition, and set aside the disposition. On December 9, 2014, the juvenile probation department filed a disposition report. It again recommended the minor be placed at Log Cabin Ranch School, with credit for the time served. On January 14, 2015, the court had a contested disposition hearing. Counsel for the minor argued the court should order the minor to out-of-home placement, other than Log Cabin Ranch School, nunc pro tunc, and not recommitment to Log Cabin Ranch School with credits. Counsel believed his client would be entitled to receive extended foster care benefits under Assembly Bill No. 12 (Stats. 2010, ch. 559 (2009- 2010 Reg. Sess.), operative Jan. 1, 2012)1 if his commitment to Log Cabin Ranch School were modified.
