In re Daniel C. CA4/3
Appellant minor was adjudged a ward of the juvenile court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602. His wardship resulted from a negotiated disposition of a sustained petition alleging – inter alia – auto theft and firearm possession along with a pending case and a series of probation violations.
He appealed, and we appointed counsel to represent him. Counsel did not argue against his client, but advised this court he could find no issues to argue on appellant’s behalf. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.) Counsel filed a brief which set forth the facts of the case and two points counsel had considered as possibly supporting an appeal: both pertained to the propriety of gang testimony. Appellant was given 30 days to file written argument in his own behalf, but no brief was filed.
