In re J.H.
Defendant J.H. appeals from an out-of-home placement probation order, following her admission of a third violation of her probation. Her appointed counsel on appeal has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), in which counsel raises no issue for appeal and asks this court for an independent review of the record. (See also People v. Kelly (2006) 40 Cal.4th 106 (Kelly).) Counsel has averred defendant has been informed of her right to file a supplemental brief. We have received no such brief.
We summarize only the facts and procedural background relevant to review of the challenged probation order. On May 24, 2011, defendant admitted count 3 of an amended section 602 wardship petition, alleging misdemeanor disturbing the peace (Pen. Code, § 415, subd. (2)). Wardhsip was declared on June 21, and J.H. was placed on probation subject to numerous terms and conditions, including that she serve one weekend in juvenile hall and thereafter reside with her grandmother.
One year later, on May 30, 2012, J.H. admitted a probation violation, namely failing to attend and being suspended from school. Wardship was continued, and she was ordered to complete 30 days of home supervision and attend substance abuse counseling.
