In re S.S.
In In re S.S., case No. C061503, an unpublished opinion filed on March 24, 2010, we affirmed the juvenile courts judgment declaring the minor, S.S., a ward and granting probation, after finding that the minor committed a battery upon the victim on November 13, 2008. (Pen. Code, 242; Welf. & Inst. Code, 602.)
After the notice of appeal in that case had been filed, the juvenile court conducted a restitution hearing. Based on testimony by the victim that his glasses had been damaged during the battery and that they had cost $119, the juvenile court awarded the victim $119, and made the minors parents jointly and severally liable therefor. The minor filed a timely notice of appeal from the restitution order.
We appointed counsel to represent the minor on appeal. After we filed an order striking the original briefs because they duplicated the issues raised in the earlier appeal, appointed 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. (See 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.
