How has the court dealt with a minor's request to appeal against a finding that the minor is entitled to a new disposition?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from In re Devon S., C059876 (Cal. App. 4/3/2009), C059876. (Cal. App. 2009):

We appointed counsel to represent the minor on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief that sets forth the facts of the case and requests this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) The minor was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed, and we received no communication from the minor. Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, we find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to the minor.

The judgment is affirmed.

We concur:
