In re J.J. CA1/2
In 2019, when appellant J.J., was almost 17 years old, the juvenile court ordered him committed to the Division of Juvenile Facilities (DJF) for a maximum term of confinement of eight years for several offenses he committed between 2015 and 2019. J.J.’s appellate counsel initially requested this court independently review the record under People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738, 744 (Anders). (See In re Kevin S. (2003) 113 Cal.App.4th 97, 99 [Wende procedure applies in juvenile delinquency appeals].) J.J.’s counsel also informed J.J. of his right to file a supplemental brief and he did not file one.
Upon our independent Wende/Anders review, we found no arguable appellate issues requiring further briefing other than what we referred to in a supplemental briefing order to the parties. We requested further briefing regarding whether the eight-year maximum period of J.J.’s confinement in DJF set by the juvenile court must be reduced
