Opinion
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED
Superior Court County of San Luis Obispo, Super. Ct. No. JV42833, Teresa Estrada-Mullaney, Judge
Richard B. Lennon, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.
COFFEE, JUDGE.
Y.M. appeals from the order declaring her a ward of the court (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602) by reason of her having committed a vehicular manslaughter (Pen. Code, § 192, subd. (c)(2)); unlawfully taking and driving a car (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)); and driving without a license (id., § 12500, subd. (a)). Appellant waived her trial rights and admitted the unlawful taking and driving charge. The court made her a ward and released her on probation subject to various terms and conditions, including that she serve 365 days in juvenile hall and pay restitution of almost $7,000.
On January 30, 2006, appellant, who had no driver’s license, took her mother’s blue Nissan car without permission to drive to her cousin’s home. She drove southbound on Orchard Avenue in Nipomo, behind a Honda Civic. The Civic's driver stopped to turn into his driveway. Appellant crashed into the Civic, pushing it into the northbound lane. A northbound GMC truck collided with the Civic. The driver of the Civic died within an hour.
We appointed counsel to represent appellant on this appeal. After examination of the record, counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised.
On March 14, 2007, we advised appellant that she had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that she wished us to consider. No response has been received to date.
We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that appellant's attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. 441.)
The order of wardship is affirmed.
We concur: GILBERT, P.J., YEGAN, J.
