Disposition notice

The Second District Court of Appeal, Division Six, affirmed the juvenile court's judgment in In re L.B., 2d Crim. No. B349315 (Super. Ct. No. LB0552A, Los Angeles County), filed October 9, 2026. The juvenile court had dismissed a count of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury but found true an added count for simple assault, declared L.B. a ward, and placed her on home probation with her grandmother. Appointed counsel filed an opening brief raising no issues. On August 10, 2026, the court sent a letter advising L.B. that she had 30 days to submit any grounds for appeal, contentions, or arguments, and the court received no such submission from L.B. After reviewing the entire record under People v. Wende, the court found no arguable issue and affirmed the judgment.
