THE PEOPLE,
Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. J228327)
v.
DEREK V.,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Carlos
Armour, Judge. Affirmed.
In April 2011 Derek V. (Minor) admitted a misdemeanor violation of Penal Code1
section 626.10, subdivision (a), possessing a knife on school grounds, as alleged in a
petition filed in the juvenile court. The Minor was placed on probation.
In May 2012 the Minor admitted a violation of section 243, subdivision (d),

court. The Minor was declared a ward of the court and placed on probation. In August
2012, the juvenile court conducted a restitution hearing and set restitution owed to the
victim of the assault in the amount of $28,920.
The Minor filed a timely notice of appeal.
Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436
(Wende) and Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738 (Anders) raising possible, but not
arguable issues. We offered the Minor the opportunity to file his own brief on appeal, but
the Minor has not responded.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
On January 14, 2011, school officials observed a folding knife clipped to the
Minor's waistband.
On January 16, 2012, the Minor and a male companion attacked Pablo Oliva in
retaliation for an earlier assault by Oliva on Derek's friend. The Minor and his friend
contacted Oliva, knocked him off of his bicycle and repeatedly punched and kicked him
until police officers intervened. Oliva suffered a broken nose as a result of the assault.
DISCUSSION
As we have previously noted, appellate counsel has filed a brief indicating he is
unable to identify any argument for reversal and asks this court to review the record for
error as mandated by Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436. Pursuant to Anders, supra, 386 U.S.
738, the brief identifies the possible, but not arguable issues:
1. Whether the juvenile court abused its discretion in denying the Minor's request
for deferred entry of judgment; and
2
2. Whether the juvenile court abused its discretion in setting the amount of
restitution.
We have reviewed the entire record in accordance with Wende, supra, 25
Cal.3d 436 and Anders, supra, 386 U.S. 738 and have not found any reasonably arguable
appellate issues. Competent counsel has represented the Minor on this appeal.
DISPOSITION
The orders of the juvenile court are affirmed.
