IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION THREE

In re J.H., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. A159965 J.H., (San Mateo County Defendant and Super. Ct. No. 19JW0823) Appellant.

J.H. appeals from an order designating her a ward of the juvenile court and placing her on probation subject to various terms and conditions. Her court-appointed counsel has filed a brief seeking our independent review of the record pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) to determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. We conclude there are no issues requiring further review and affirm. BACKGROUND On October 9, 2019, a juvenile wardship petition was filed in Case No. 19 JW 0823 against J.H. alleging three counts (Pen. Code, §§ 245, subd.

1

(a)(4),1 as a felony, count 1; 242, count 2; 240, count 3) involving conduct occurring on August 24, 2019, in San Mateo County. In addition, the petition alleged that charges in separate Case No. 17 JW 1077 (§ 626.10, subd. (a)(1) [possession of a weapon on school grounds]; § 245, subd. (a)(4), as a misdemeanor) were sustained on August 30, 2018. Both cases involved the same victim, A.R. In Case No. 17 JW 1077, the first case, J.H. physically attacked A.R., punching her multiple times on the face and upper chest while the two were at lunch during school. During this assault, J.H. grabbed A.R. by her hair and dragged her to the ground, causing her to hit her head on a table top. J.H. was in possession of a razor blade, but never took it out as a weapon during the altercation. In Case No. 19 JW 0823, the subject of this appeal, J.H. attacked A.R. in downtown Redwood City. J.H. threw about six to eight punches to A.R.’s face and attempted to stomp her head while she was on the ground. J.H. left the scene of the offense but later admitted, post-Miranda, fighting with A.R. J.H. was arraigned on Case No. 19 JW 0823 on October 23, 2019. Count 1 was reduced to a misdemeanor violation of section 245, subdivision (a)(4), with the remaining charges dismissed pursuant to a negotiated plea. The court advised J.H. of her constitutional rights and accepted her admission of the amended charge, finding she knowingly and intelligently waived her constitutional and statutory rights and that the admission was freely and voluntarily entered. A.R. testified at the contested disposition hearing held on February 18, 2020. J.H.’s attorney objected to a proposed condition of probation subjecting
