FACTS AND PROCEDURE
On February 7, 2013, J.E. was found in possession of a locking blade knife on her
high school campus when a security guard tackled her to the ground to separate her from
another student during a fight. J.E. was cited and released to her mother.
On March 12, 2013, the People filed a juvenile wardship petition under Welfare
and Institutions Code section 602, subdivision (a), alleging J.E. committed a felony by
possessing a locking blade knife on school grounds. (Pen. Code, § 626.10, subd. (a)(1))
On April 23, 2013, the juvenile court reduced the charge to a misdemeanor
pursuant to Penal Code section 17, subdivision (b). J.E. admitted the allegation and was
placed on juvenile probation. This appeal followed.

California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 [87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493], setting forth a statement
of the case and potential arguable issues. Counsel has also requested this court to
