In re Giovanny S.
A three-count petition alleged that 15-year-old Giovanny S. shot at an inhabited dwelling, shot at an unoccupied vehicle, discharged a firearm with gross negligence, and (as to all counts) personally used a firearm. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 602; Pen. Code, 246, 247, subd. (b), 246.3, 12022.5, subd. (a).) Following an adjudication hearing at which one witness testified that she saw Giovanny firing shots at a certain intersection at 2 p.m. one day, then get into a white Honda Civic (registered to a person living at Giovannys residence), and another witness testified that at 5:30 p.m. the same day and near the same intersection, she heard shots and saw Giovanny with a gun in his hand getting into the same car. The juvenile court sustained the allegation that Giovanny had discharged a firearm with gross negligence (a felony), and found true the allegation that he personally used a firearm. Giovanny was declared a ward of the court and ordered into a six-month camp program with the period of confinement not to exceed 13 years.
Based on our independent examination of the record, we are satisfied that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106, 109-110; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.)
The order is affirmed.
