IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION SIX


In re J.L., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law.
2d Crim. No. B279587
(Super. Ct. No. KJ38904)
(Los Angeles County)

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

J.L.,

Defendant and Appellant.


On February 26, 2015, J.L., then age 14, was charged with two felony counts of making criminal threats. (Pen. Code, § 422, subd. (a).) It was further alleged that he committed the offenses for the benefit of, at the direction of and in association with a criminal street gang and that in committing the offenses, he used a deadly weapon, a knife, causing the offenses to become serious felonies. (Pen. Code, § 1192.7, subds. (c)(28) and (c)(24).)
J.L. admitted the offenses and special allegation. The juvenile court declared J.L. to be a person described in Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 and sustained the petition. The court declared the maximum period of confinement to be 14 years, and ordered suitable placement.
On November 1, 2016, when J.L. was age 15, the People filed a petition in juvenile court alleging a violation of Vehicle Code section 10851, subdivision (a), driving or taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent.
J.L. admitted to a misdemeanor violation of the section and the juvenile court sustained the petition. Almost immediately after sustaining the petition, the court became concerned that doing so might result in the loss of juvenile court jurisdiction and a transfer to criminal court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 707, subdivision (b). Over J.L.’s objection, the juvenile court dismissed the November 1, 2016 petition in the interest of justice and the welfare of the minor. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 782.) J.L. appealed the dismissal.
We appointed counsel to represent J.L. in this appeal. After counsel’s examination of the record, he filed an opening brief raising no issues.
On April 7, 2017, we advised J.L. by mail that he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that he wished to raise on appeal. We received no reply.
We have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that J.L.’s attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issue exists. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)


The judgment is affirmed.
