In re V.G. CA5

INTRODUCTION

Appellant V.G., a minor, was the subject of multiple juvenile petitions filed in 2011 and 2012. On March 22, 2012, he was declared a ward of the juvenile court (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602) and placed on probation, based on a felony violation of receiving stolen property (Pen. Code,1 § 496) and misdemeanor being under the influence of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, § 11550, subd. (a)). In March and April 2012, he committed additional offenses and an amended petition was filed on June 29, 2012. The instant appeal is based on the proceedings that occurred as a result of that amended petition. His appellate counsel discovered errors in the calculation of credits, fines, and fees, and advised the superior court of those errors. The superior court conducted a noticed hearing and made the requested corrections. On appeal, his appellate counsel has filed a brief which summarizes the facts, with citations to the record, raises no issues, and asks this court to independently review the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) We affirm.
