DIVISION ONE

In re J.V., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. THE PEOPLE, A167732 Plaintiff and Respondent, (Contra Costa County v. Super. Ct. No. J2200477) J.V., Defendant and Appellant.

After J.V. (minor) was adjudicated a ward of the juvenile court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 6021 for felony grand theft, the court imposed several conditions, including restitution to the victim’s mother in the amount of $1,314.63. The court also determined minor was jointly and severally liable for this amount with his co-responsibles. His appellate counsel has raised no issues and asks this court for an independent review of the record to determine whether there are any issues that would, if resolved favorably to minor, result in reversal or modification of the judgment. (People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Minor was notified of his right to file a supplemental

Minor and R.S. then ran toward a vehicle, while J.T. walked backward holding the firearm by his side. The victim heard someone inside the vehicle say, “ ‘Shoot him!’ ” but after J.T. got into the vehicle, he drove away. The victim called the Richmond Police Department. When police arrived at the scene, they photographed “a visible red lump on the back of the victim’s head” and retrieved nearby surveillance footage, which captured the “entire robbery.” The police discovered the vehicle driven by J.T. was registered to minor’s father. Police officers located minor near his home, and when they contacted him, minor gave officers a false name. Police arrested minor for felony robbery and conspiracy. The next day, the police contacted J.T. and searched his room. That search revealed an “unregistered black semi-automatic Glock-style handgun commonly referred to as a ‘ghost gun.’ ” Further investigation of another surveillance video showed minor, J.T., R.S., and another individual “attempting to sell the victim’s necklace” at a store “on the same day as the offense.” The clothing worn by J.T., R.S., and minor
