In J.M. CA2/5

INTRODUCTION

The juvenile court sustained a Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition against defendant and appellant J.M. (J.M.) finding true the allegation that defendant had committed misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. On appeal, J.M.’s appointed counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) requesting that this court independently review the entire record to determine if there are any issues, which if resolved in J.M.s favor, would require reversal or modification of the adjudication and disposition orders. Accordingly, we notified J.M. that he could brief any grounds of appeal, contentions, or arguments he wanted us to consider. J.M. did not file a supplemental brief. Based on our independent review of the entire file, we conclude that there are no arguable issues on appeal. We therefore affirm the adjudication and disposition orders from which J.M. appeals.
