IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

IN RE J.O., a Person Coming H038484 Under the Juvenile Court Law. (Santa Cruz County Super. Ct. No. J22099)

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

J.O.,

Defendant and Appellant.

Minor J.O. (J.O.) appeals from a judgment of the juvenile court. His appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) in which no issues are raised. On October 22, 2012, we notified J.O. of his counsel's brief and gave him leave to file, within 30 days, his own brief or letter stating any grounds or argument he might wish to have considered by this court. That time has elapsed and J.O. has not submitted a letter or brief. We have reviewed the entire record and find no arguable issues. Accordingly, we affirm the juvenile court's jurisdictional and dispositional orders.

Proceedings in the Juvenile Court The juvenile court continued J.O. as a ward of the court after sustaining an amended petition filed pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602.1 The court found that J.O. had committed second degree robbery in violation of Penal Code section 211 (count one), and resisted arrest in violation of Penal Code section 148, subdivision (a)(1) (count two) as alleged in the petition. On June 19, 2012, the court removed J.O. from the custody of his parent and guardian. The court committed him to the probation department for placement in a ranch camp program under specified terms and conditions. The court set the maximum period of confinement at eight years, eight months.2 The court awarded J.O. 95 days of predisposition custody credit. J.O. filed a timely notice of appeal. The evidence at the contested jurisdiction hearing showed that on March 16, 2012, at approximately 7:30 p.m. Armando Reyes was walking to a local store when he felt as if someone was following him. When he turned around, J.O., who Reyes knew, told Reyes to give him his money or he would be stabbed; J.O. told Reyes he wanted $100. Reyes did not have that amount of money on him, but gave J.O. $20. Reyes testified that he was afraid he would be stabbed. Although Reyes did not see a knife, J.O. made a gesture, putting his hand into his pocket, which made Reyes fear there was a knife. Watsonville Police Officer Santana investigated the aforementioned incident. Reyes told Officer Santana that J.O. was about two feet away from him when he demanded the money. Officer Santana described Reyes's demeanor as "scared."
