In re Corey L.
Following contested jurisdictional and dispositional hearings, Corey L. was declared a ward of the juvenile court after allegations were sustained that he committed one felony offense of second degree robbery and one felony offense of second degree robbery while personally using a deadly weapon, a pellet gun. The court removed Corey from the custody of his parents, committed him to a Boys Ranch for a maximum term of 180 days less 17 days custody credit, and specified the maximum term of physical confinement as seven years.
Coreys appellate counsel filed a brief asking this court to conduct an independent review of the record under People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. Counsel discovered no issue meriting argument, but suggested possibly arguable issues regarding the admission of certain evidence and the effectiveness of defense counsel. Following our independent review of the record, court asked the parties to provide supplemental briefing regarding those issues raised by appellate counsel, as well as the additional issue of whether the court improperly removed Corey from the custody of his parents. With the aid of the supplemental briefing, court conclude that none of the issues warrants reversal and affirm.
